Overview
Vivid Select+ brings the new Vivid air-shock platform to a lower trim without diluting what makes the chassis interesting. The LinearXL air spring still aims for a coil-like feel with Adjustable Bottom Out control, while the redesigned RCT damper keeps setup straightforward with usable LSC adjustment and a Charger 3.2-matched main piston tune. It targets riders who want serious descending behavior on enduro, e-MTB, and downhill bikes without paying full Ultimate money.
Features
NEW LinearXL air spring delivers a consistent, coil-like ride feel and accepts easy bottomless-token tuning.
NEW RCT damper provides a wide, usable range of Low Speed Compression adjustment.
NEW numbered compression adjuster keeps setup clear and repeatable for riders who experiment often.
Adjustable Bottom Out delivers extra end-stroke control compared with simpler bumper-only trims.
NEW main piston compression tunes match Charger 3.2 fork dampers for better mid-stroke support.
The platform still targets enduro, downhill, and e-MTB bikes rather than light-duty trail use.
E-bike approval makes it a viable value-oriented option for hard-ridden heavy bikes.
