Edit MX Upgrades

We've upgraded the Edit MX full builds. Full builds now come with the 2025 Vivid Coil shocks and forks are upgraded to Charger 3.1 dampers.

Our approach has always been to build bikes the way we would ride them, which means no corner-cutting on the parts - even where nobody would notice. Which seems like common sense to me, but is surprisingly rare in an industry of tight margins and even tighter competition. But it's equally important for us to be as up-to-date as possible; whenever there's an opportunity to make a bike better, we want to pass that on your our customers. And that's exactly what we've done with the Edit MX full builds.

Rockshox Vivid Coil Shocks

The new Vivid Coil shock looks a lot like it's predecessor, the Super Deluxe Coil. But there's more going on here than meets the eye. The main change is the new TouchDown damping system, which is position sensitive. What that means is that the damper can be more forgiving at the start of the stroke but still offer plenty of mid-stroke support.

(yes, we know this is a picture of a Slacker. But the Vivid Coils are so new we haven't built and Edit yet)

The Vivid Coil also offers the new adjustable Hydraulic Bottom-out feature which we've found makes a huge difference to the end-stroke. It's optional but we spec it because it make a huge difference. You can adjust the compression damping in the last 20% of the stroke with five clicks of adjustment to get the bottom-out tuned perfectly.

Edit MX frames have been available with the new Vivid Coil Ultimate shock (air or coil) for a couple of weeks already. Now, all the Rockshox equipped Edit MX builds have been upgraded to the 2025 Vivid Coil too. The Edit MX Luxe gets the Vivid Coil Select+ while the Edit MX Deluxe gets the Vivid Coil Ultimate (the Edit MX Works is, of course, running Öhlins).

Rockshox Charger 3.1 Dampers

Rockshox have also upgraded the dampers in their premium forks. It's an evolution rather than a revolution, moving from Charger 3.0 to 3.1, but anyone going for our most popular Edit MX Deluxe build will appreciate the difference. The main goal is to reduce harshness/vibration being transferred through to your hands, and in turn less fatigue. Which means you can go faster and further. 

Overall damping levels have been reduced slightly, but there's now a broader range of adjustment for both low-speed and high-speed compression. The low-speed circuit has also been redesigned to allow for greater oil flow. The result is that you've got way more room to get your fork in the sweet-spot without having to sacrifice overall support. Winning.

As we've done with the Slacker upgrades, we've held the prices on Edit MX builds so you can now get an even better bike, but you won't have to pay a penny more. These bikes were already incredibly good value, but now they're even better. And of course we have flexible payment options from V12 Retail Finance.
