A RockShox Vivid Air R2C Preview


Gravity for the rider who you get by talking about two basic types: who cares about people to pretend you don't care about the rigs and weight weight. But performance kill weight, let's face it: rider and get both. More weight, bike, rider direction and slope Mario Andretti mass of grief he can shortsa speed to change speed limits performance to must carry.

Creative ways to save their weight based on the commitment to the top riders World Cup circuit, clearly a Rockshox speed (messing with shorts-bit rather than the more familiar, and has come out. I small section about where to not talking about-, talks about 400 grams of savings is a huge component.

Technology

Bright air RC2 mountain bike shock witness. Essentially a RockShox coil shock found a way to convert air shock was not easy by any means. Think about it: air spring to try to get a steel spring-like behavior-is seems like a daunting challenge. Look under the exploded view for yourself that it really can see that everything is not very simple. But then again everything you can.

Might seem more complicated at air dual Chamber bright air, brilliant coil shock original basically is very similar to. Change impact body (J), are being processed now smooth air offers as part of the spring. Part (A)-(E), (dual-Chamber air N that belongs to the spring). All other vivid coil is almost identical. -Minus heavy coils coil to feel like spring in order to achieve all this results when. Air vivid and vibrant coil spring almost the same trip last a few millimeters exception to compare rates, touch the vivid coil ramp-up faster than a brilliant air shows.

It is built into bypass bar appear in the vivid air what's new, hot rod reward pellets. Expansion during heating pellet deployment, and then add additional restitution. Some might be silly enough plastics durability is not, rest assured, in addition to the hot rod rebound rod, well laid out.

Adjustment

Features a vibrant R2C adjustments host. Most obvious ones are more nasty coil spring swap air spring pressure is. It is also the external low speed compression adjustment and beginning and ending stroke adjustment. Need to get the rig dial these four will lament that almost all of them, fixed, and sidewalk affects the slopes of the bond. Should you buy separately) is what is frame adapter. Rather than works of three solutions I chose two aluminum set pieces; long term solutions for your bike is a bit more expensive.

Installation and Setup

Looking at the bright air is larger than coil shock, real might think is not. Only a few millimeters wide diameter larger than coil shock is, since it bright air, see can't see larger. Install the other units in the market today and is same works-just to get adjusted all install be sure to move your stops and not to strike reservoir nothing can shock. The clear, and then install air shock – suspension that easy with circular peasy.

Add or one valve (via internal compensation port automatically set by the negative spring), air is referenced, except that you are trying to delete air is bright air coil quite vivid settings and the same process. In my case I in.30 multiplication SAG measurement and know the shock 76 mm stroke with Banshee legend II requires 30% SAG (76 mm x 0.30 = 23 mm) to get. Before I reach my measurements I added air shocks. Sadly, not many air more vivid a Rockshox products grace SAG gradients; gradient reservoir sticker prints instead.

To configure SAG sets and the full impact on the slope was a head of time. By using my experience can start in the compression settings and legendary compression dial quickly got four clicks much traction coil shock with vivid. I was riding terrain rock, terrain hard patch route and soft, and featured a mix of around. I found was still lovely terrain while tracking a rough control wheel than this setting. A big jump in landing the compression setting is also too much ado about without control the bike.

Looking for recovery setting after you set the compression. Wheel then hit return (play the major role rockgardens) ensure that didn't get the horoscope buckling sense try to rebound first stroke adjustment. It was right about the sweet spot for me 9 clicks.

Finally (big hit) to set the most enjoyable rebound ending line to set. Essentially ended in 5 clicks and sessioning the jump some until the shock could dial. Banshee and press together hard when brilliant gave greater control, bike geometry is designed according to the Lord, initial rear wheel travel aboard edged discovered what worked great. Without compromising control wheel sensitivity which is also the backup permission, adjustment dial.

It feels great overall bright air is like a champion to run. Are lighter than the pound and a half as a result rather than having to play bicycle hot springs, I feel like coil in good control my bike there. I see many you can get it in the future is without a doubt, a brilliant air looking for playing around. See only shortcomings more vivid air you can price coil version is a few dollars. To $ 630 adds another $ 200 under the weight of the coil shock race suggested retail price is not cheap but other options, at least), is to upgrade to the titanium spring. Greater air vivid to me.

I want to thank you for setting Tyler MORLAND and good people a Rockshox vivid air reviews.
