Rail (750Wh) Rockshox Vivid on a Rail?

[obiwun]

Hi all,
Has anyone tried the new Rockshox Vivid shock on a Gen 4 Rail? A mate has just installed one on his Levo and loves it. What stroke length and tune would you go for?
Cheers

Carbon or aluminum Rail? I have a Vivid R2C coil on a Nomad, and it and the air version seem to have a decently large piggyback which can be a problem on some Rails.

Should fit no problems on 750wh battery rail. As for sizes 230x57.5 is factory so you can potentially overstroke to 230x60 and even possibly a 230x62.5

Cool thanks, I haven't seen much written about changing rear shocks on the Gen 4 Rail. I would hope 62.5 is possible given the eye to eye is the same and there seems to be plenty of clearance for a larger piggy back. There are a bunch of tunes available so I was hoping someone had already done the homework there. Levo gets a tune from Rockshox, I would have thought a popular bike like the Rail would get a tune too, but I suspect the Rail would work pretty well with a 'standard' tune due to its pretty simple kinematics and middle of the road leverage ratio. Leverage on the Levo is quite different.

@obiwun , How did it worked out with the Vivid in the Rail? Did you overstroke it? I'm interested to.

Hey. No i haven’t purchased yet. Still struggling to find good info. Super Deluxe Coil with hydraulic bottom out is an option I’d consider too.
