Overview

World Cup-proven and built to charge, Vivid Ultimate sets a new standard in downhill-oriented air-shock performance. The LinearXL air spring delivers a distinctly coil-like ride feel, with off-the-top suppleness, supportive mid-stroke behavior, and Adjustable Bottom Out for confident end-stroke control. Paired with the D1 RC2T damper and a Charger 3.2-matched main piston tune, this version is aimed at riders who want a premium gravity air shock that still makes sense on aggressive enduro and e-MTB builds.

Features

  • NEW LinearXL air spring delivers a more coil-like feel with easy-to-change bottomless tokens for volume tuning.

  • NEW RC2T damper provides a wide, usable range of Low Speed Compression and High Speed Compression adjustment without cross-talk.

  • NEW numbered compression adjuster makes setup faster and easier to communicate between test laps.

  • Adjustable Bottom Out gives more confident end-stroke control when the riding gets bigger and faster.

  • NEW main piston compression tune matches Charger 3.2 fork dampers for stronger mid-stroke support.

  • The chassis is built to work across enduro, downhill, and e-MTB bikes rather than only one gravity niche.

  • E-bike approval helps the shock cope with higher system weight and longer sustained descending loads.
