No, I've never tried a RS Monarch Plus, but many people say never buy a Rock Shox shock only forks.
Is that true?
just got the CC Dbcoil,to replace my Monarch plus,will let you know how it compares,

Excellent! Now we all are going to know the real difference between air or coil.
what I will say about the monarch is that it's performs very well on technical climbing,let's see if to Ccdb can match it in that department,

So, did you get your CCDB coil? How does it perform?

yes it did,it's a fantastic shock,just need to be patient when adjusting it,at the moment got it just about right for descending,plush,stable.still trying to get the slower riding dialled in.if you want a fit and forget shock this probably isn't for you,but if to can get your head around understanding how a shock should feel and work This is the one you want because the performace is stunning compared to the Monarch plus,you don't notice the weight difference either,although the debonair is supposed to be a vast improvement on the old 2013 monarch plus

Im kind of in the same boat as you. I have a 650b converted T2 and l want a new shock. I know, no matter what im going to get it modified by Avalanche. So now i wonder if a coil would be great or an air. Im leaning to a coil right now because , A) they can be picked up sort of cheaply and B) i want low speed plushness...lm not that fast....yet. But the Avalanche air shocks rock the house too. So we'll see

Isn't there a significant difference between air and coil at the end of the stroke? Air ramps up, sometimes rather quickly, but I don't think coils do unless they're designed to be non-linear. Don't some bike designs sort of count on that ramp-up from air shocks?

I was wondering the same thing. I know quite a few bike's that claim there suspension matches up perfect with the curve of an air shock (Kona process 153 for example) Would going with a coil actually be worse on certain bikes???

a tuned coil can handle that issue, but coil shocks are linear vs progressive compared to air. avalanche can deal with that issue if you got their service and coil is always more sensitive over small chatter

The CCDB coil is meant for the downs, no question to that. But have any of you guys tried climbing with it? Our local trails aren't fully accessible, so we really don't have much of an option but to pedal some of the ups (if not all)..
I'm not thinking of racing xc with it, just getting to the top to enjoy the ride down.
I would appreciate your insights. Thanks.

adjust the LSC and LSR to eliminate pedal bob,should be ok,I have one and I have no problem climbing,it's very good on tech climbing if you get it dialled in right.
