DT Swiss R 535 IN-CONTROL rear shock with remote lever
- Designed as a natural partner to the outstanding F 535 fork, the R 535 builds on DT's recent advances in suspension technology in a smooth, reliable package that's ideal for technical trail riders
- High oil and air volume system for exceptional heat management and consistency without the need for piggy-back reservoir
- LINÉ-AIR spring offers easier initial stroke with better mid-stroke support to prevent wallowing
- Smooth Auto Balancing System (SABS) uses a groove in the air chamber to increase pressure in the negative spring when the shock is extended, giving a super plush, grippy feel ideal for grip and comfort in technical conditions
- Adjustable IN-CONTROL damping with Open/Drive/Lock adjustment gives you instant access to the optimum suspension settings in any situation; Open for descents, Drive for climbs and Lock for sprinting or road use

- Spherical bearings allow the shock to align itself perfectly with your suspension and prevent non-linear forces from acting on the shock which could affect performance and reduce seal life
- With an interval of 200 riding hours between full services the R 535 is ideal for high mileage riders and those who want their bikes on the trail not the work stand
- Includes a remote, 3-setting ODL lever, cable and a high quality DT Swiss shock pump

‘We invent, develop, shape and create, every day. We aspire to engineer leadership, every day. We strive for products that set benchmarks, every day. We help cyclists achieve their ambitions. Every day since 1994, engineering performance has been at the heart of everything we do.’
It all started with spokes. Formed in 1994 following a buyout from a Biel-based wire works with roots all the way back to the 15th-century, DT Swiss AG was founded by Frank Böchmann, Maurizio D’Alberto and Marco Zingg with the vision of becoming a world-renowned manufacturer of bicycle components.
Pioneers of the ratchet rear hub – which still sets the standard for engagement and performance – DT believes that wheels should be built with the entire system in mind, not just constructed from parts built by other brands. Every DT Swiss wheel is entirely made by the Swiss brand with hubs, nipples, spokes and rims all designed and built by them rather than sourced elsewhere.
In 2017 they launched the ARC road wheels, developed in conjunction with SwissSide and renowned aerodynamicist JP Ballard, and the latest generation of these wheels are currently ridden in the pro peloton by Lotto-Dstny and the likes of Caleb Ewan and Thomas De Gendt.
Today, DT Swiss is one of the biggest names in cycling and still strives to develop beautifully engineered products that break boundaries while setting the standard for quality control and reliability.
