The Monarch Plus is a fusion of the Monarch's exemplary light weight with a Solo Air system, and a damper design similar to the Vivid Air. The Plus will have you bombing all-mountain trails like it was born to downhill. The Monarch Plus RC3 features external rebound and 3-Position compression adjustment (Open/Pedal/Lock).
  • Intended Use: Trail, Enduro
  • Fast Black hard anodized, forged aluminum body with sag gradients
  • RC3 shocks feature external rebound and 3-Position compression adjustment (Open/Pedal/Lock), Solo Air lets you add air to your shock through a single Schrader valve, filling both the positive and negative air spring chambers simultaneously. This gives you a plush, predictable ride you can set up in seconds, with the lightest weight air spring on the market
  • Rapid Recovery allows the shock to recovery faster between consecutive bumps, letting the wheel track the ground with greater precision
  • Mount hardware sold separately (2 sets required per shock)

Great shock - a shame it didn’t hold pressure until seals replaced. Also advertised pump was not included;

As others have stated about this item I too did not receive the shock pump as described. Why keep it in the description if they are not going to supply it. BAD ADVERTISING;

First of all it was in stock and came quickly! I have been tinkering with the rebound and stuff on the shock itself and think I have it dialed in pretty well. My climbing has definitely improved since changing the shock I feel like I have better grip while seated maybe not while standing though. The noise from the little bumps is also mitigated nicely without feeling like it gets squatty.;

Having bought this win June 2019 I haven't used my bike that much due to work cover-19 and other bike part issues.
Once the bike was up and running again after approximately 4 months in bits I started to ride again using the bike on fairly gentle rides about once a week.
A few weeks ago I noticed that the shock was not returning to its fully extended (sag) position.
It holds almost all of the pressure it was inflated to but doesn't return to the sag position.
A lot of money for an inadequate device.;

This shock is superb I like the fact it comes with the 50 hour service kit. The small bump sensitivity is amazing with debonair however I did not receive the shock pump advertised.;
