Designed for the most extreme trails and proven in the World Cup, the RockShox Vivid Ultimate sets a new standard in downhill racing. The Linear XL air spring offers a feel similar to coil springs: softness at the beginning of the stroke, support in the middle of the stroke, and a damped bottom-out with adjustable bottom-out travel for greater control, in a configuration designed to deliver flawless consistency and predictability. Designed to work as a system with your fork and its Charger 3.2 cartridge, the RC2T cartridge features a new main piston whose compression adjustment provides balanced mid-stroke support, while the intuitive HSC (high-speed compression) and LSC (low-speed compression) dials ensure quick, clear, and easy-to-communicate tuning. Larger, more aggressive, and ready to push the limits of enduro, e-MTB, and DH, the Vivid Ultimate redefines what a shock is capable of.
Product highlights:
- The Linear XL air spring offers consistent, predictable feel and adjustment options thanks to easy-to-change Bottomless Tokens.
- The RC2T cartridge allows for independent, interference-free adjustment of low-speed compression (LSC) and high-speed compression (HSC) over a wide range.
- Numbered compression adjustment for intuitive tuning: simply start at “0” and add or remove damping.
- Base valve reduces forces at the IFP by 40%, making it the smoothest shock on the market while maintaining perfect traction.
- Main piston compression settings optimized for the performance of the Charger 3.2 cartridge, to enhance mid-stroke support.
- The adjustable bottom-out (ABO) features a convenient dial with five compression settings to customize damping in the final 20% of the stroke.
- The removable rebound dial is also used to adjust HSC (High Speed Compression) and ABO (Adjustable Bottom Out).
- The 20 adjustment clicks provide uniform rebound curves, combined with a wide adjustment range to deliver a consistent feel regardless of the rider’s weight.
- 8x30 bearing adapter available for all standard eyelets: categorized as spacers (additional cost applies).
