Coil springs are popular for good reason: combining flexibility at the beginning of the stroke, support in the middle of the stroke, and damping at the end of the stroke with an adjustable bottom-out stop (ABO) for greater control, they offer unfailing consistency and predictability. Designed to work as a system with your fork and its Charger 3.2 cartridge, the RC2 cartridge features a new main piston with compression adjustment that provides balanced mid-stroke support, while intuitive HSC and LSC knobs ensure quick, clear, and easy-to-communicate adjustment. Drawing on decades of coil spring dominance to produce a shock tailored to today's enduro, e-MTB, and DH riding, the Vivid Coil Ultimate brings the unmistakable DNA of coil springs into the modern era.
Product advantages:
- The new RC2 cartridge allows independent, interference-free adjustment of low-speed compression (LSC) and high-speed compression (HSC).
- New numbered compression adjustment for intuitive adjustment: simply start at "0" and add or remove damping.
- New base valve reduces IFP forces by 40%, making it the most flexible shock absorber on the market while maintaining perfect grip.
- Main piston compression settings tailored to the performance of the Charger 3.2 cartridge, promoting mid-stroke support.
- Adjustable bottoming out (ABO) features a convenient dial with five compression settings to customize damping in the last 20% of the stroke.
- The removable rebound dial can also be used to adjust the HSC and ABO.
- The 20 adjustment clicks provide uniform rebound curves, combined with a wide adjustment range to provide a consistent feel regardless of the rider's weight.
- 8x30 bearing adapter available for all standard eyebolts: categorized as spacers (sold separately).
