Vivid Ultimate DH RC2T D1 Coil 225mm x 70/72.5/75mm (Trunnion Mount) (2026)

The RockShox Vivid Coil Ultimate DH is a dedicated downhill rear shock built for riders who demand maximum traction, control, and consistency on steep, fast, and technical terrain. Built around the unmistakable feel of coil suspension, it delivers supple small-bump sensitivity, strong mid-stroke support, and controlled bottom-out behaviour for confidence on the most demanding tracks.

At the core of the shock is the updated RC2T damper, featuring fully independent high- and low-speed compression adjustment with a wide, usable tuning range and no cross-talk between settings. The revised compression tune in the main piston is designed to work in balance with forks using the Charger 3.2 damper, delivering predictable suspension performance front to rear.

A redesigned base valve reduces internal floating piston forces by 40%, creating an exceptionally supple ride feel while maintaining strong traction and control. The numbered compression dial provides a clear baseline for setup, making adjustments simple and easy to communicate between riders, mechanics, and suspension tuners.

To manage heavy impacts near full travel, the Vivid Coil Ultimate DH features Adjustable Bottom Out (ABO), offering five levels of compression control through the final portion of the stroke. Combined with 20 clicks of rebound adjustment, the shock provides precise tuning for a wide range of rider weights, spring rates, and downhill track conditions.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for modern downhill frames using metric mounts. Confirm eye-to-eye length, stroke, and mounting hardware compatibility with your frame before purchase. Choose the correct coil spring rate based on rider weight and frame suspension kinematics.

Installation Notes

Professional installation recommended. Ensure mounting hardware is correctly torqued and coil spring preload is set appropriately. After installation, adjust rebound and compression to suit rider weight and track conditions, and confirm adequate clearance through the full suspension travel.

Tracking and Notifications

All outgoing parcels are tracked. Tracking details will be provided once the item has been dispatched. NSDynamics does not send arrival notifications for inbound service items unless the parcel is damaged in transit or missing important components required for service.

Customers are encouraged to use tracked and insured freight when sending items to NSDynamics. Responsibility for the parcel remains with the sender until the item is received and checked in at the NSDynamics workshop.

Shipping Fees

Return express postage back to the customer is included free of charge for all full Factory and Hyperformance service types. It does not apply to minor repairs or basic services. Shipping charges for parts or accessories are calculated during checkout.

Postage to NSDynamics is the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise arranged. Warranty items may qualify for return postage coverage only if they were originally supplied by NSDynamics and a clear fault is confirmed.

Shipping Insurance

All parcels sent from NSDynamics are covered under NSDynamics’ freight insurance. In the unlikely event that an item is lost or damaged during return transit, it will be replaced with a comparable item where possible. If a parcel arrives damaged, photo evidence must be supplied immediately. NSDynamics is not responsible for parcels where the receiver has chosen the 'Authority To Leave' option. 

Packaging Requirements

Customers must ensure that their suspension is packaged securely and appropriately for shipping. If an item arrives in packaging that is damaged or unsuitable for safe return, NSDynamics may use a heavy-duty branded box and apply a $5 fee to the final invoice. This ensures your suspension is protected during return freight. Customers are encouraged to retain and reuse this box for future service bookings.

Transit Times and Delays

While NSDynamics uses express freight to minimise delivery delays, transit times cannot be guaranteed. NSDynamics is not responsible for delays caused by freight carriers, public holidays, weather events, or other external disruptions. If a parcel has been delayed more than 5 business days beyond its expected delivery date, customers are welcome to contact NSDynamics for support.

Public Holidays

Unfortunately our workshop is closed on all nationwide and Queensland-specific public holidays, so we are not able to ship sales or service orders on these days. Any services or sales orders placed on public holidays will be processed and dispatched the following business day.
