The Rock Shox Rear Shock Vivid Ultimate Dh Rc2 Standard Standard C1 Rear Shock is engineered to deliver unparalleled performance for gravity-fed racers and mountain biking enthusiasts who demand precision and reliability.

With 20 clicks of rebound adjustment, the shock accommodates a wide range of rider preferences, ensuring every ride is smoother and more controlled. The sleek black shock body accented with pearl white decals adds a touch of style to your bike while guaranteeing top-tier functionality.
