Overview
Vivid Ultimate DH takes the new Vivid D1 platform and points it directly at modern downhill bikes. The LinearXL air spring keeps the signature coil-like feel and uses Adjustable Bottom Out for controlled end-stroke behavior, while the RC2 damper drops the threshold lever and focuses on intuitive HSC and LSC tuning. Engineered to work as a system with BoXXer, this is the most gravity-specific air version in the new Vivid family.
Features
NEW LinearXL air spring delivers the same coil-like feel as the standard Vivid Ultimate but in a DH-specific size range.
NEW RC2 damper provides usable High Speed and Low Speed Compression tuning without cross-talk.
NEW numbered compression adjuster keeps trackside setup changes simple and repeatable.
Adjustable Bottom Out improves confidence on hard landings and repeated big compressions.
NEW main piston compression tunes are designed to work as a system with BoXXer for gravity bikes.
The size range is focused on downhill bikes rather than broad trail-bike compatibility.
E-bike approval supports the hard-hit use cases common to heavy park and DH e-bikes.
