The RockShox Vivid Coil Ultimate RC2T is a high-performance rear shock designed for aggressive enduro, downhill, and E-MTB riding. Built around the unmistakable feel of coil suspension, it delivers supple small-bump sensitivity, strong mid-stroke support, and controlled bottom-out behaviour for maximum traction and consistency on rough terrain.

At the heart of the shock is the updated RC2T damper, which provides fully independent high- and low-speed compression adjustment with a wide, usable tuning range and no cross-talk between settings. The revised compression tune is designed to work in balance with forks using the Charger 3.2 damper, ensuring predictable suspension behaviour across the entire bike.

A redesigned base valve reduces internal floating piston forces by 40%, creating a more supple ride while maintaining strong traction and stability. The numbered compression dial provides an intuitive adjustment system, making setup fast and easy to communicate between riders, mechanics, and suspension tuners.

To manage harsh impacts near full travel, the shock features Adjustable Bottom Out (ABO), offering five levels of compression control across the final portion of the stroke. Combined with 20 clicks of rebound adjustment, the Vivid Coil Ultimate allows precise tuning for a wide range of rider weights, spring rates, and riding styles.

Compatibility

Suitable for modern enduro, downhill, and E-MTB bikes using metric or trunnion mounts. Ensure the correct eye-to-eye length, stroke, and mounting hardware are selected for your frame. Choose the correct coil spring rate based on rider weight and frame leverage characteristics.

Installation Notes

Professional installation recommended. Ensure all mounting hardware is correctly torqued and coil spring preload is set according to manufacturer guidelines. After installation, adjust rebound and compression settings to suit rider weight and riding conditions, and confirm adequate frame clearance throughout the suspension travel.
