RockShox Monarch RT3 Rear Shock

Traction like you never felt before
Silky smooth travel in a new lightweight design, the Monarch floats through bumps even better than before, turning rugged trails into tire-gripping velvet. The chassis is lean while maintaining the durability and adjustability needed to bite off huge chunks of epic cross country and burly trail action. Combining a redesigned Solo Air spring with updated damping controls, Monarch has the perfect balance of bump performance and efficiency.
