RockShox Vivid Air B1 Rear Shock Service Kit

No, this kit is specifically engineered for the Vivid Air B1 model architecture. It will not work with other versions or generations of the Vivid Air shock, so please verify your shock's specific model year and version before purchasing.

This kit contains the essential internal seals and wear parts needed to refresh your shock's internals. It is designed to replace the components that degrade over time, helping you restore the original plush feel and consistent damping performance of your suspension.

Yes, you will need specific tools to complete this service properly, most notably the Counter Measure tool. Because rear shocks are pressurized systems, we recommend only attempting this service if you have the correct tools and experience with suspension maintenance.

Service intervals depend heavily on how often and how hard you ride. Generally, a full seal service is recommended once a year or every 50 to 100 hours of riding time to maintain peak performance and prevent premature wear on-trail failure.

While it is possible to service your own shock, it requires a high level of mechanical precision and specific tools. If you are not comfortable working with pressurized suspension components, it is safer to have a professional technician perform the service to ensure the shock is reassembled correctly and safely.
