Overview

There's a reason everyone loves coil—the feel is unmistakable—supple off the top, supportive through the mid-stroke, and backed by Adjustable Bottom Out (ABO) for confident end-stroke control—giving you unwavering consistency and predictability. Engineered to work as a system with your fork and Charger 3.2 damper, the RC2 damper's new main piston compression tunes deliver confident mid-stroke support, while intuitive HSC/LSC adjusters make setup fast, clear, and easy to communicate. Distilling decades of coil dominance into a shock built for today's downhill bikes, Vivid Coil Ultimate DH carries the unmistakable heritage of coil into a new era of performance.
