RockShox Vivid Ultimate RC2T Shock for Yeti SB160 from 2023 / SB165 from 2020

Eager downhill: the RockShox Vivid Ultimate rear shock with RC2T damping for the Yeti SB160 from 2023 or the SB165 from 2020 onwards

This Vivid Ultimate air shock from RockShox with RC2T damping is suitable for use with your SB160 or SB165 mountain bike from Yeti Cycles. It offers steel coil-like behaviour, but combines it with versatile adjustability. The RC2T damping allows you to tune the high- and low-speed compression and rebound. For quick adjustment while you're riding, use the 2-position lever to switch between Open and Firm. Thanks to the TouchDown technology, you get exactly the support you need in every travel section. The shock is also equipped with adjustable hydraulic bottom out as standard. Compared to the Super Deluxe Air, the Vivid has a larger air chamber and a stronger chassis, which results in more oil volume, i.e. better heat management, and more bushing overlap, i.e. lower friction. Suitable mounting hardware is included.

Technology:

TouchDown
The TouchDown damping system features three compression zones. The first 10 % of suspension travel is characterised by fine response and little damping, which absorbs vibrations. Between 10 and 80 % of travel, you benefit from controlled, stable compression. For the last 20 % of travel, you can adjust the hydraulic bottom out to the track ahead.
