RockShox Vivid Coil Ultimate DH RC2 Metric Rear Shock - 2025
The world's best gravity racers need it. The roughest tracks demand it. Vivid Coil Ultimate DH is unmatched in downhill performance and tunability. Easily dial in the perfect ride feel with the TouchDown RC2 position-sensitive damper. Independent High and Low Speed Compression adjustments provide unreal sensitivity off-thetop, support and control in the mid-stroke, and Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom Out to cushion the harshest landings. It's the unmistakable feel of coil, evolved with premium technology to give you worldclass suspension performance.
TouchDown Technology
TouchDown technology is Vivid Coil's new position-sensitive damping system. RockShox developed a rear shock damper that's forgiving at the beginning of its travel while staying composed in the middle and end of the stroke. Each phase of suspension action makes a seamless handoff to the next, so all you notice is that thrilling buzz at the bottom of the downhill.
Just like how you react to the range of terrain on your favorite trails, Vivid Coil's TouchDown technology handles whatever you drop into with ease.
To give Vivid Coil a supple ride at the beginning of its travel, TouchDown technology bypasses the compression damping generated by the main piston in the first 10% of its travel. Quieting trail chatter is just the beginning. To handle hectic terrain, the next 70% of Vivid Coil's travel rides on controlled and stable compression damping. Adding to TouchDown technology's adaptability, Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom Out lets you tune rear suspension feel for the harsh hits that dip into the final 20% of travel. Go ahead and do an end-zone dance if you feel like it.
Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom Out
Vivid Coil features Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom Out (AHBO), which kicks in to increase compression damping within the last 20% of travel—but how much damping it offers is all on you. The key component is an adjustable dial offering five different compression settings to customize the cushioning you experience on impact. Vivid Coil's AHBO allows for a wider range of rebound tunes to match our customer's frame kinematics perfectly.
Bottom Out Bumper
Softer bottom-outs, no wasted travel. Vivid Coil's new bottomout bumper is stroke-specific to accommodate the range of stroke lengths required for different suspension designs.
This means that the shock can get the most out of its travel. And when you do hit the bottom, it lessens the blow.
