Will post full specs and pics once I complete the custom install.

Sorry there is lockout, X25 lockout force. Here's the Code: RS-VIVD-ULT-D1 - 06T61116385

It has the same air valve orientation 1:00 as what you mentioned above.

Curious, has anyone removed the volume reducer from their Vivid? I'm not really getting the last bit of travel on my Vivid, wondering if removing the volume reducer will help.

I'm curious too, do you have the HBO set to click 1?

I ended up buying the same model shock (came off a RS 181.2) to use as an expensive "spare"...but I really do want to ride it.

It seems pretty heavy (not that I care).

The Ext springs are $135 each and they are slow to ship...my frame is still being built up...but I'm going to try the coil that came with it first.

There's a lot of progression at the end of 181's travel, why I've preferred a coil over air. With the Vivid air Troyon has recommended no HBO, so if you're not getting through all the travel when you feel you should be then I'd remove the spacer, super easy to do.

Yeah as @John_likes_bikes mentioned there's a lot of progression at the end stroke so I have ABO turned off. I don't think I've fully bottomed out my Vivid Air on the RS181.2 ever.

12 days since I took delivery of my shiny new Team Edition and I’m still locked out of pairing my $11k bike.
C’mon Avinox ..this is ridiculous
I never had issues like this with Bosch.
One time they warrantied a complete CX race motor ..in 3 days.

$11k for your dot 2?!? Same I wish my Plaid frame & build came in at $11k but for know I’m not adding it all up. Just a little coin there. A little coin here and so on.

Interesting, I don’t have any issues getting full travel out of my Float X2.
