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
  • For this rear shock, bike/frame specific mount hardware is included

This really worked out perfectly. My Fox with brain failed for the second time and with 2 day shipping I had this one quick. And the price was awesome. It bolted right onto the bike and was easy to setup with the auto-sag. I re-used the old pin and washers on the front side. I pressed the old pin into the new shock with a bench vise. I greased it up and used the two old washers (see picture). I fastened the front using the old screw and that side was done. The back side looked just like my old shock. I re-used the old wishbone and old screw. I used their supplied spacer because the old screw was a little too long for the new shock. I pumped it up to 275 psi sat on the bike and pressed the auto-sag button (short "pshh" sound then it sank a little). Set rebound to the middle and damping wide open. Went for ride on very steep hilly rocky and rutty terrain (kettle moraine glacial formations). The shock worked great. I'm so glad that Rockshox had this product available. They designed it directly for Stumpjumpers. You will need a shock pump so make sure you have one handy. It included a 50 hour rebuild kit. I'm very happy with this. Hope this review helps someone. My weight is about 215-220 with gear and water. So this shock can handle some weight.;

Shock was awesome for a while. It's developed a knock/sticky spot st the top of the stroke which is really annoying. Contacted Sram/rockshox. They said it's a possible warranty issue but the don't do consumer direct. I would have to go through an authorized dealer. Contacted the seller of this item to see if they could help facilitate the warranty claim. No response from them. So while it's a great shock customer service from the seller seems non existent. Just hope you don't have any issues with the product I guess?;

Used this to replace the brain shock on my 2011 stumpy expert- installed super easily using the hardware from the old one. Fits perfectly!;

Fit my 2011 FSR Stumpy perfect. It was leaking air at the valve core but just had to tighen it.;
