What is included in the RockShox Vivid Air Rebuild Tool Kit (2024+)?

The kit includes six tools: a Sealhead Negative Spring Compression Tool, a 6-Pin Sealhead Wrench (with spacer for the unused 6th pin), an M5 IFP Puller, a 1/2" Shaft Clamp, an IFP Depth Tool, and an updated Countermeasure Compression Tool. The countermeasure tool uses an integrated screw design — no separate Knipex adapter is required. Items not included but required for a full service are: a Trunnion Shock Vise Holder, an IFP Air Fill Adapter, a Valve Core Remover, and 10" Knipex Pliers.

Which RockShox shocks is this rebuild kit compatible with?

The kit is compatible with the RockShox Vivid Air (2024+), RockShox Vivid Coil, and RockShox Super Deluxe EXT, plus similar countermeasure-design shocks. It is not designed for older-generation Vivid Air shocks built before 2024 or for Fox shocks. For 2008–2024 Vivid Coil service, Shockwave Parts offers a separate generation-specific kit.

How does the RockShox Vivid Air Rebuild Tool Kit (2024+) compare to the official RockShox pin spanner wrench?

This kit is 3D-printed and optimized for home mechanics who service their shock occasionally. The official RockShox pin spanner wrench is steel and CNC-machined, making it more durable under repeated torque cycles. Shockwave Parts explicitly recommends the official wrench for anyone planning frequent or professional-volume servicing. This kit suits home use and periodic rebuilds where cost and part availability matter more than long-term shop durability.

What sealhead torque should I use when servicing the Vivid Air 2024+ with this kit?

Shockwave Parts recommends 20–25 Nm for sealhead torque, lower than the RockShox-published spec of 30–34 Nm. The rationale is that fine threads amplify torque rapidly, making the higher factory figure a risk for damage without a meaningful sealing benefit. The kit page links to a torque calculator to match force to wrench length. Before any disassembly, fully depressurize both the air spring and damper, and never remove a sealhead under pressure.

How does Shockwave Parts ship this kit to customers in Canada, and what are the shipping costs?

The kit ships from Canada. Tracked shipping within Canada starts at $8.49 CAD, with a maximum shipping cost of $14.99 CAD. Orders over $89 CAD qualify for free shipping within Canada. Orders are processed fast, typically dispatching within 1 business day. International orders over a fixed threshold qualify for free international shipping.

Is the RockShox Vivid Air Rebuild Tool Kit (2024+) suitable for a first-time shock service in Canada?

Yes, with preparation. The kit is designed for home mechanics and covers the specialized tooling needed for the 2024+ Vivid Air service procedure. First-time users should consult page 44 of the official SRAM service manual, which covers the mandatory step of removing the rebound adjuster knob before disassembly. An aftermarket seal kit (such as the ANSO Vivid Air 2024+ Kit) and consumables like Maxima Plush 7 wt oil are required separately but are widely available to Canadian buyers.

RockShox Vivid Air (2024+) Full DIY Rebuild Toolkit

The 2024+ Vivid Air is RockShox’s answer to the Float X2, with a larger negative chamber, adjustable HBO, and much better reliability. It’s a serious enduro/DH shock, but also more involved to service.

Important: You must remove the rebound adjuster knob before servicing. This is covered on page 44 of the official SRAM manual.

Heavy-use note:
This kit is built for home mechanics and occasional rebuilds. If you plan to service RockShox Vivid Air shocks frequently, consider the official RockShox pin spanner wrench, it’s steel, CNC-made, and holds up much better to repeated torque cycles than ours.

Sealhead Torque Reality Check

RockShox lists 30–34 Nm for sealhead torque. That is excessive.
