RockShox Vivid Coil Ultimate RC2T Rear Shock with RC2T Damper and Adjustable Bottom-Out

The RockShox Rear Shock Vivid Coil Ultimate RC2T blends classic coil suspension feel with cutting-edge technology, designed to elevate your mountain biking experience. Its coil spring provides a supple initial stroke, firm mid-stroke support, and a controlled end stroke through the innovative Adjustable Bottom-Out feature. This ensures reliable performance and consistency across various terrains.

Built to integrate seamlessly with your fork and the Charger 3.2 damper, the RC2T damper introduces advanced main-piston compression tuning, delivering exceptional mid-stroke support. Intuitive high-speed compression (HSC) and low-speed compression (LSC) adjusters make setup straightforward and precise, allowing riders to tailor the shock's performance to their specific riding style and trail conditions. Whether you're tackling demanding enduro courses, aggressive downhill runs, or E-MTB adventures, the Vivid Coil Ultimate is engineered to meet the demands of modern riding with the unmistakable heritage of coil suspension.

Featuring a base valve that reduces internal floating piston (IFP) forces by 40%, this shock maximizes suppleness and traction, enhancing control and comfort. The numbered compression adjuster provides an easy-to-understand starting point for damping setup, while the removable rebound knob doubles as an HSC and Adjustable Bottom-Out controller, offering versatility in tuning options. The shock also includes 20 clicks of rebound adjustment, allowing riders to fine-tune response curves based on weight and preference. Additionally, the upgrade kit with an 8×30 bearing adapter ensures compatibility with all standard eyelets, enhancing durability and smooth operation.
