A few quick questions:
1. Are they any good? They seem to get both a lot of praise and slack online.
2. What are the different tunings all about?
3. Is there any difference between the 2017 model and more recent versions? I found one online for just GBP200 in the M/L tune.
I'm currently running a Fox Float CTD on a 2015 Cube Stereo. Even with the largest volume spacer, I find that the shock blows through its travel way too easily. Running in at higher pressure to avoid this means that I lose a lot of small bum sensitivity. It also overheats like mad on long descents.
Thanks for your help!!!
Without going into the pros and cons of the RC3 you probably need the HV one getting one.
It has a smaller aircan.
Look on ebay etc and ask yourself why there are so many hardly used (warranty replacements) for sale.
The performance and tunability of Monarch shocks is good while they are working! The design was changed for SRAMs newer shocks, with more bushing overlap to account for damage caused by side loading, which the older shocks couldn't handle at all well.
Whilst SRAM blame frame manufactures for poor tolerances/design or the customer for poor installation of the hardware. Bear in mind shocks from other manufactures are able to not scratch themselves to bits or develop knocks internally in the same applications as Monarchs do!
No, garbage. I’ve had two fail in the same way as Chester describes above, and the third had started developing a knock.
Thanks for your responses. Are there any other shocks that I should consider on the cheaper end of the spectrum?
They eat shafts which RS do not sell as a spare part
