Anyone know if the new vivid rear shock is available yet, and who has them? If anyone has any experience with these, how do you like it? I'm looking for a new shock for my DH bike and right now it's a toss up between the vivid and roco wc, what do you guys think. I want something thats going to be really plush!:cheers:

BTI and Qbp will both have them so any shop will be able to order them. BUT they dont have them I just checked.
I am looking for one for my Canfield F1.

NORCAL is the hizzle
I had the pleasure of riding vivids on a borrowed bullit and v-10 last summer. Didn't get to spend a lot of time with either bike but initial impressions were very good - super plush, a bit more controlled/less active than a DHX. The dual rebound adjustment makes a lot of sense - you can keep it pretty quick and separately limit the catapult factor on harder hits. I don't have any meaningful experience with rocco or double barrel but if the vivid proves to be reliable it looks to be another great shock option.

i do have roco experience i should have written about in my earlier post, definetly super plush, same adjustments as any other shock, but i like itbetter than the DHx, little more plush to me.

roco wc or vivid, both will be good

Will be driving up in the morning around 6:30 am for the day. I have a Vendor in the office today and can't leave till the morning. I just put a DHX Air on my new bike for normal day to day riding. It works great. I will be putting a Coil Shock on it for racing though. I am up in the air with the Vivid and CC DB. I just know the Vivid will cost me half what the DB is but be a lot better than a DHX.
