RockShox Vivid C1 Rear Shock

The Vivid C1 is designed for aggressive mountain biking, specifically enduro and downhill riding. Its focus on sensitivity, mid-travel support, and bottom-out control makes it ideal for riders tackling rough, technical terrain who need consistent performance on long descents.

The hydraulic bottom-out system allows you to fine-tune the final 20% of the shock's travel. With five different settings, you can increase resistance to prevent harsh bottoming out on big hits or drops without needing to change your air pressure or volume spacers.

No, this specific unit is fixed at a 250x75 mm eye-to-eye measurement. Rear shocks are not adjustable for length, so you must ensure this size matches your frame's specific requirements before purchasing.

Yes, the 2-position threshold lever is designed to firm up the shock for more efficient pedaling. While it doesn't lock the shock out completely, it significantly reduces bobbing on fire roads and long climbs.

The Vivid C1 is fully serviceable, but it does require regular maintenance to maintain its performance, similar to other high-end air shocks. It is recommended to follow the standard RockShox service intervals for air can seals and damper service to keep it running smoothly.

The TouchDown RC2T damper is designed to be position-sensitive, meaning it provides plush, sensitive performance at the beginning of the stroke while remaining supportive and stable through the mid-stroke. This helps the bike track better over small bumps without feeling like it's wallowing in its travel.
