Despite its lightweight design, not only does the Monarch offer a silky smooth response, but with the DebonAir air spring it also offers a spring rate otherwise only known from much heavier steel springs. It is therefore a robust shock absorber, capable of smoothing out the most aggressive routes, but at the same time light enough to tackle epic cross-country outings. Don't let the appearance fool you, because just like the Wolf, you never know what's behind it.

There is nothing wrong with being soft. DebonAir, in fact, is not ashamed to give in to the slightest vibration. In fact, this makes the Monarch and Monarch Plus shocks softer than ever right out of the box. You might consider this a weakness until you hit the slopes with DebonAir. The connection between the bike and the ground will be perfect, because the DebonAir shock absorber will swallow every single shock without letting your body feel it. With these smooth hits, you can push yourself even further.
Dual Flow Adjust
DFA is a bit like glam metal. Two things that theoretically wouldn't go together, but which together magically manage to harmonize. Let's say you're on a course with monstrous drops and countless bumps keep slowing you down. Normally you should adjust your suspension fork to one of two possible options. The Rockshox DFA, however, uses its dual independent damping circuits to be ready for both. In this way the strongest impacts are absorbed and the ride is smooth even in the case of small impacts, just like make-up and metal.
Rapid Recovery
Who doesn't want more travel in the event of repeated impacts ? Thanks to the Rapid Recovery™ system, the shock absorber returns to its original position more quickly after multiple impacts, giving the bicycle a more precise grip. This more active damping system does not fail and provides a ride with a stiffer and softer spring. With Rapid Recovery™, the rider enjoys more travel, for a smoother, more controlled ride with every stroke.
Damping Markings
If you don't adjust the damping correctly, it's like you're riding the bike someone else. But why waste plastic clips or rulers to adjust the suspension every time? Our markings are printed directly onto the fork legs and shock body, for easy and precise suspension setup. Finally you can return the clothespins and the ruler to your mother.
