The RockShox Vivid Ultimate DH Coil is a dedicated downhill rear shock designed for riders who want maximum traction, control, and confidence on steep, fast, and technical terrain. It features the TouchDown RC2 damper with position-sensitive compression, giving you ultra-supple small bump response, stable mid-stroke support, and firm bottom-out control when it matters most.

This DH-specific version drops the Threshold lever to keep things simple and focused on full-speed descending. It offers fully independent high- and low-speed compression adjustment, 20 clicks of rebound control, and a 5-position hydraulic bottom-out dial to soften harsh landings without interfering with usable travel.

With a stroke-specific bottom-out bumper and a coil-sprung layout, the Vivid Ultimate DH is built for consistent, repeatable performance under extreme conditions. It’s also e-MTB approved and comes in a range of eye-to-eye and stroke options to fit modern downhill frames.
