Forged in the crucible of World Cup racing, the NEW RockShox Vivid Ultimate RC2T (RS-VIVD-ULT-D1) establishes a terrifying new benchmark for gravity suspension. Its massive LinearXL air spring effectively erases the boundary between air and coi, delivering a hyper-supple breakaway that transitions seamlessly into a deeply supportive mid-stroke. When the impacts get really big, the 5-position Adjustable Bottom Out (ABO) dial grants you total end-stroke authority without compromising the rest of your travel. Engineered to perform in perfect synergy with your front end, the RC2T damper utilizes a reimagined main piston tune to perfectly mirror the mid-stroke support of the Charger 3.2 fork damper. With fiercely independent High and Low Speed Compression circuits, setup is precise, surgical, and entirely free of tuning cross-talk. Unapologetically oversized and built to wrangle everything from heavy-hitting E-MTBs to dedicated downhill sleds, the Vivid Ultimate completely rewrites the rules of the descent.
