Air technology in both forks and rear shocks has come a long way. The units chosen here from RockShox and Fox perform as well as their coil counterparts in most situations, whilst saving a chunk of weight. Straight out of the box the Monarch offers great traction and bump performance from such a slight looking unit, a perfect trail/ all–mountain rear shock.
