DT Swiss R 232 ONE Trunnion Lever Rear Shock - 2023 Model

The R 232 ONE rear shock by DT Swiss with an integrated adjustment lever and a Trunnion mount

The R232 ONE lever rear shock from DT Swiss is designed for the needs of Cross Country riders. It fits into full suspension frames with a Trunnion mount. The lever, which is integrated into the rear shock, allows you to select three different modes: OPEN mode for maximum damping in downhill sections, DRIVE mode for technically demanding uphill rides and LOCK mode for fast, power-optimised forward drive.

Technology:

InControl Damping System
The damping or rather the compression speed can be adjusted to the respective driving situation. This is done in three stages: OPEN, DRIVE and LOCK.
In the OPEN mode, the damping system reacts to all unevenness in a precisely tuned manner. It is therefore best suited for downhill sections. It can be individually adjusted to the rider's weight and tyre pressure via 13 fine gradations.
The DRIVE mode reacts to coarse unevenness, but otherwise hardly allows any energy loss via the damping system. This setting is therefore recommended on technical sections and easy uphill sections.
In the LOCK mode, you receive a rigid fork, which allows the pedalling force to be effectively converted into propulsion, as there is no loss of energy.
The three compression modes are set via oil channels which are opened in different ways and thus allow the various levels of damping. In LOCK mode the oil channels are completely closed; to prevent damage in case of hard impacts, a blow-off valve opens.

LineAir Suspension System
With a low breakaway force, early damping is made possible. As a result, the damping increases linearly in the mid-range and achieves a much steeper progression in the end range, which allows a strong compression without bottoming out. This is achieved through a spring system consisting of air chambers, where the pressure in the negative air chamber is higher than in the positive air chamber when fully rebounded.
