The RockShox Vivid Ultimate RC2T Air is a high-performance rear shock that combines the lightweight benefits of an air spring with the consistent, planted feel of a coil. Designed for enduro, downhill, and e-MTB use, it features the latest TouchDown RC2T damper with position-sensitive compression to deliver unmatched control and comfort across varied terrain.

The large-volume DebonAir air spring provides smooth initial travel, strong mid-stroke support, and a progressive ramp-up near bottom-out. The hydraulic bottom-out system has five adjustable settings, helping to manage harsh landings without sacrificing usable travel. Independent high- and low-speed compression adjustment, 20 clicks of rebound, and a Threshold lever give you complete control over performance.

Engineered for riders who want the tuneability of an air shock without compromising on traction or composure, the Vivid Ultimate RC2T Air brings top-level feel and adjustability to modern long-travel bikes.
