RockShox Vivid Coil Shock Rebuild Kit

This kit is engineered specifically for RockShox Vivid Coil shocks produced between 2008 and 2010. It will not fit newer Vivid models or other shock series, so verify your shock's production year before purchasing.

This kit contains the essential seals, O-rings, and internal components required to refresh the damping and air-spring systems of your shock. It is designed to replace the wear items that degrade over time, restoring the shock's original performance and sensitivity.

In most cases, yes. A leaking shock is usually caused by worn-out dynamic seals, which this kit is designed to replace. However, if the inner shaft or the shock body has deep scratches or scoring, replacing the seals may not stop the leak, and the shock may require more extensive repairs.
