Better travel curve than RP23. Easy to tune and doesn't need a lot of maintenance. Works great on my 29er to the point where I don't even know it's there. Never blows out, never crushes and has a nice linear travel to it. Soaks up everything.

TRACTION LIKE YOU NEVER FELT BEFORE.
Silky smooth travel in a new lightweight design, the Monarch floats through bumps even better than before, turning rugged trails into tire-gripping velvet. The chassis is lean while maintaining the durability and adjustability needed to bite off huge chunks of epic cross country and burly trail action. Combining a redesigned Solo Air spring with updated damping controls, Monarch has the perfect balance of bump performance and efficiency
