The RockShox Vivid Air Ultimate is built for riders who demand the highest level of rear suspension performance. Developed and proven on the World Cup circuit, it delivers the sensitivity and control of a coil shock with the versatility and tunability of an air spring. Whether you're racing downhill, charging enduro stages, or riding a powerful eMTB, the Vivid Air Ultimate is designed to stay composed on the biggest hits while maintaining exceptional traction throughout the entire ride.
Its LinearXL air spring provides a supple initial stroke, supportive mid-stroke, and predictable end-stroke control, while the RC2T damper offers independent High Speed and Low Speed Compression adjustment for precise tuning.
