What shock tune are you guys running for this combo?

I have heard that it works killer on this frame. Who has one/tried one and how do you like it?

Check over in the Spec forums, I remember seeing some threads from the man himself Jason Chamberlin at Spec that a Vivid was a no go on the 2011 frame...
Ridemonkey has some stuff too...in the DH forum

The only one I know of seeing was a early production model for the Spec riders, never went public.
But then there are some pics of some peeps in UK that have done it...so I am curious myself cause I'd love to do it.

2011 can be done w/ some modifying, but I'm talking baout the 2010 frame.

Older version w/ Sam Hill low and slack geo.

I don't know myself, but it would be a radical thing to do.

One of shop riders slapped one on his 10 Monster Green Demo. He said he frame just felt way smoother and more balanced than with the RC4. He just ordered up an 11 frame kit, so I guess we're doing the mod to get the Vivid to fit...

Yeah cheers for that review. Makes me want it even more. Servicing an air sleeve isnt exactly hard so im pretty prepared to do that. If servicing my 2 step cartridge on my lyriks every 3 months doesnt get me grumpy dont this this will

called a local spesh dealer and said they are not available. Think i might call another one! lol
