The Monarch is one of a kind. Despite its lightweight design, it not only offers smooth responsiveness, but with the DebonAir air spring it also offers a spring rate typical only of much heavier steel springs. This makes it a robust shock, capable of smoothing out even the most aggressive trails, but at the same time light enough for cross country. So, don't be fooled by its appearance: until you try it, you don't know what's behind it.

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, stronger impacts are absorbed and the ride feels smooth even on small impacts, just like make-up and metal.
Damping markings
If you do not adjust the damping correctly, it is as if you were riding someone else's bike. 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 ruler to your mother.
Solo Air
Solo Air™ is like a Buddhist monk. The clever design allows the positive and negative air chambers of the forks to be filled simultaneously via a single valve. Therefore, a perfect balance reigns between them, just like yin and yang. For a comfortable and reliable ride, you can adjust the lightest fork on the market in seconds.
Rapid Recovery
Who doesn't want more travel on repeated hits? 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 cyclist enjoys greater travel, for a smoother and more controlled ride with every stroke.
