RockShox Monarch XX Mid Tune
Few things would piss off Newton more than the Monarch XX.
Simply put, no other shock provides more energy-efficient performance in a lighter package - one that seemingly defies Newton's so-called "laws" of physics. But the Monarch XX does exactly that, providing the ability to lock the rear suspension with a single handlebar-mounted XLoc Sprint button.

The 100% hydraulic remote lever and system are completely sealed, making the Monarch XX resistant to contamination, unlike cable-operated devices. If Newton were alive today, we doubt he'd be so excited to go back to the drawing board with his theories.

Rapid Recovery
Who wouldn't want more wheel travel for more hits? The Rapid Recovery system allows the shock to recover faster between bumps, allowing the wheel to follow the ground with more precision. This more active suspension system doesn't pack up and allows the bike to ride at a higher and softer spring rate. Rapid Recovery gives the rider access to more available wheel travel, bump for bump, to achieve a smoother and more controlled ride.

Solo Air
Solo Air is like a Buddhist monk. Its enlightened design allows air to be added to the forks through a single Schrader valve, simultaneously filling both the positive and negative air spring chambers. So they're always in perfect balance, like Yin and Yang. It provides a soft, predictable ride that you can set up in seconds, thanks to the lightest air spring on the market.

XLoc Sprint
Opposable thumbs let us do a lot of cool things. Rule all the animals on the planet, climb to the top of the food chain, and even invent the bicycle. And now they're helping us kill it on the trail. This hydraulic lock provides completely tight and reliable locking control with the click of an easy-to-access button that can be activated with a single thumb press. Press to unlock, press again to lock. It's just that simple. So the next time you're on the trail, remember everything those thumbs did for you.
