    According to RS the Debonair is only available if you use a single travel air shaft

    So not available for dual position .I thought I read somewhere it had been done .I know bottomless tokens are not available but yet theres a way around that too .
    Whats different from solo air to dual position damper .

    Nothing different between dual and solo position damper, it's the spring that changes!

    Debonair changes the way the secondary air chamber is used (solo air is single fill but still a dual opposing air spring like the older dual air) to increase its volume and progression, if RS don't sell a Debonair air shaft I don't see how you can 'create' one.

    The solo air has a dimple on the inside of the stanchion to let the air equalise at some point. The dual position forks don’t have this as fair as I’m aware - so I think you’d need a new CSU from a solo air to do the debonair upgrade. Not really economically viable.
