RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate RC2T Rear Shock Trunnion Mount 165x45 Black

The RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate RC2T Rear Shock represents the pinnacle of rear suspension technology, engineered to deliver unparalleled performance for riders who demand the best. Designed for those who push their limits, this shock offers a finely tuned ride experience through its revolutionary RC2T damper technology. With truly independent high and low-speed compression adjustments, along with an extended rebound range, riders can customize the suspension to perfectly match their terrain and riding style.

Featuring the DebonAir+™ air spring with adjustable air can options, this model allows for precise control over negative and positive air volume, ensuring the ideal balance of plushness and responsiveness. The HotDog Piston™ technology enhances low-speed compression for smoother control while reducing high-speed compression to absorb rough terrain impacts effectively. Thanks to the Castled bottom-out bumper and optional hydraulic bottom-out control, the Super Deluxe Ultimate RC2T minimizes harsh impacts, maximizing comfort and grip throughout your ride.

Built with premium materials and components, including Maxima Plush damping fluid and dynamic suspension lube, this shock reduces friction and noise, ensuring a quiet and durable performance. Its trunnion mount standard and sleek black finish with matte polar foil decals make it a seamless upgrade for modern mountain bikes. Whether you are descending technical trails or powering through rugged terrain, the Super Deluxe Ultimate RC2T offers the precision, control, and durability that competitive riders rely on.
