Highlights
- The LinearXL air spring delivers a consistent, predictable feel, with adjustment options provided by easy-to-change Bottomless Tokens.
- The RC2 damper allows independent, interference-free adjustment of low-speed compression (LSC) and high-speed compression (HSC).
- Numbered compression adjustment makes tuning intuitive: simply start at ‘0’ and add or remove damping.
- The base valve reduces forces at the IFP by 40%, making the rear shock more supple while maintaining excellent traction.
- Main-piston compression settings are matched to the performance of the Charger 3.2 damper, promoting mid-stroke support.
- The Adjustable Bottom Out (ABO) has a dial with five compression settings to customise damping over the final 20% of travel.
- The removable rebound dial can also be used to adjust HSC and ABO.
- The 20 adjustment clicks provide consistent rebound curves across a wide adjustment range, ensuring consistent performance for riders of different weights.
Description
Designed exclusively for downhill, the ROCKSHOX VIVID ULTIMATE DH RC2 Air C1 offers an exceptional level of control and customisation on the most demanding terrain. Its new RC2 damper delivers great sensitivity at the start of the stroke while maintaining excellent support throughout the full travel. Thanks to independent high-speed compression and low-speed adjustments, as well as rebound tuning, every rider can precisely tailor their suspension behaviour to their riding style.
At the heart of its performance lies the DebonAir technology, presented as the closest air spring to a coil spring behaviour ever developed by RockShox. This design allows very fine tuning of the positive air volume to optimise sensitivity, mid-stroke support and comfort on rough terrain. The Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom Out system offers five levels of bottom-out resistance to better absorb the hardest impacts.
Designed for lasting performance, the Vivid Ultimate DH RC2 Air C1 features Maxima Plush Dynamic Suspension lubricant, reducing friction and improving smooth operation. Maintenance is also made easier thanks to service intervals extended to 100 hours, made possible by new dust seals and an optimised oil volume. Compatible with e-MTB, it stands as a benchmark for riders seeking an ultra-high-performance and reliable downhill suspension.
