Has anyone got the dimensions for the 240mm x 76mm stroke vivid air, I cant find any dimensions on the net. Mainly concerned about the size of the air canister.
Cheers

Has anyone ridden the vivid air yet?? I am thinking of going that way instead of a coil shock on my new bike. Any reviews or firsthand experience?

Make sure it fits your frame, I talked to a mechanic today and he said the gripe is that it does not fit some frames. I wanted to put on on my demo but heard you have to shave metal on the shock...does not inspire confidence to me.

So far, everyone I know who's ridden one likes it and is sticking with it. Mine arrives in a few weeks, attached to a V10. I figure if I'm not totally happy with it I'll send it to Push for the treatment and a high speed adjuster.

I'm testing one at the moment. It has been fantastic, I don't want to give it back.

It feels just like a coil but saves sh*tloads of weight. Plus it is infinitely adjustable, well the springrate is at least. Riding a gnarly steep/rough track run 40% sag, on a pedally/smooth track run 30% sag, easily done with a shock pump. You always have the perfect springrate!:thumbsup:

Cheers, Im about to order one, but need to check it fits, has anyone got the measurement from the centre of the mounting eye to the large air canister.
I emailed SRAM to see if they have the measurements on a technical document as no bike shop I have called has one in stock, the distributors cant tell me and ill be damned if I am spending $$$ for it not to fit!

the measurement from the centre of the mounting eye to the large air canister.

Steve Wentz: "I ride flat pedals. That makes a big difference in my suspension setup, compared to when I was clipped in and racing."

Hmm, when I play with flats I'll remember that. I've always felt that I ride heavier on the rear wheel when I use flats so maybe I'll like'em more if I firm up the compression and remove a click of rebound damping.

Thanks Iggz, much appreciated :thumbsup:

Mine fit just fine with no shaving or nothing. Loving it so far.
