RockShox Vivid Coil Ultimate RC2T Rear Shock NoBushing Trunnion C1 for Enduro

The RockShox Rear Shock Vivid Coil Ultimate RC2T - NoBushing Trunnion- C1 sets a new standard in rear suspension for gravity riders who demand unparalleled performance on the most challenging downhill tracks. Designed to deliver exceptional control and tunability, this shock absorber features the innovative TouchDown RC2T damper technology, which adapts seamlessly to varying terrain conditions. The coil spring (sold separately) offers a smooth, consistent feel that enhances rider confidence and stability at every stage of your descent.

With its advanced compression and rebound adjustments, the Vivid Coil Ultimate allows riders to fine-tune suspension behavior to their exact preferences. Independent High and Low Speed Compression controls, combined with an Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom Out, ensure that every bump, drop, and landing is absorbed with precision and comfort. This shock is engineered to provide a plush yet responsive ride, minimizing noise and friction thanks to Maxima damping fluid, making it ideal for serious enduro and downhill enthusiasts.

Built for compatibility and ease of maintenance, the Vivid Coil Ultimate supports the new Electric Red Coil Springs and includes features such as a soft, stroke-specific bottom-out bumper to protect against harsh impacts while allowing full travel. The inclusion of a 3mm hex wrench tucked into the rebound knob simplifies on-the-fly adjustments to High Speed Compression and Hydraulic Bottom Out settings, ensuring your suspension is always dialed in perfectly for your ride.
