RockShox Vivid Coil RC2T Rear Shock

This shock is built specifically for aggressive enduro and downhill riding. Its coil-sprung design excels on long, rough descents where heat management and consistent traction are critical for maintaining control.

The RC2T system allows you to independently adjust high-speed and low-speed compression. This means you can fine-tune how the shock reacts to big hits and drops separately from how it handles smaller bumps and pedal bob, giving you a more personalized feel.

You need to check your bike frame's specific shock requirements. This model is 230mm in length with a 60mm stroke, so ensure these measurements match your frame's manufacturer specifications before purchasing.

Coil shocks generally offer a more supple, consistent feel throughout the entire stroke, especially on long descents where air shocks can sometimes suffer from heat buildup. They provide excellent small-bump sensitivity and traction, though they are typically heavier than air alternatives.

These factory settings determine the shock's base damping characteristics. The 30 compression tune and 55 rebound tune are pre-set to match the leverage curves of specific bike frames, ensuring the shock performs as intended right out of the box.
