World Cup-proven and built to charge, Vivid Ultimate sets a new standard in downhill performance. The LinearXL air spring delivers a coil-like feel—supple off the top, supportive through the mid-stroke, and backed by Adjustable Bottom Out for confident endstroke control—giving you unwavering consistency and predictability. Engineered to work as a system with your fork and Charger 3.2 damper, the RC2T damper’s new main piston compression tunes provide mid-stroke support, while intuitive HSC/LSC adjusters make setup fast, clear, and easy to communicate. Bigger, more aggressive, and ready to push limits on enduro, E-MTB, and downhill bikes—Vivid Ultimate redefines what a rear shock is capable of.
