The Rockshox Monarch R 2017 shock is perfect for cross country. The simple and comfortable suspension will convince you from the very first use. The Solo Air air spring is known for its sensitivity and great reliability. Dual Flow technology uses two independent damping circuits to respond differently and efficiently to the large and small impacts with one rebound on the initial stroke (small impact) and one rebound on the final stroke (large impact). This way your cushioning adapts completely to the situation and you no longer have the feeling of being on a bouncy ball.
