it'll be a much more reliable and clean looking setup. Throw the fox on the rear ( much better than the monarch anyway ) and convert the lefty to manual lock. Any Ideas, beside having to buy a single lockout remote. The air can is completely carbon fibre except for its small precision aluminum main seal gland, to maximize weight savings without sacrificing any durability. I realise that I might have to re-bleed the unit so that the lever can still lockout for the front. cable) lockout that requires a fixed piece to pull against, this lets the hose move with the suspension if necessary and should make installation much easier and cleaner. The 15g carbon fiber air can is half the weight of its aluminum counterpart while maintaining the supple spring feel Solo Air is known for. It’ll come with their XLoc hydraulic remote lockout, which mounts to the shock behind the rebound lever on a bezel that lets it rotate 360º. Rock Shox Xloc Remote Lever kits Left Side (Remote Kit) Rock Shox Xloc Remote Lever kits - Left Side (Remote Kit) Close. This industry-first hydraulic remote system is fully sealed leaving it impervious to debris, so the lever force never changes over time. Full replacement Xloc remote lever kit Fits Monarch XX Rear Shock Available in Left or Right sides. The XLoc hydraulic remote controls the lockout with simple push-push actuation mounted cleanly to your Avid brake and SRAM shifter with MatchMaker X compatibility. Handlebar mounted hydraulic damper control that simultaneously activates the lockout on Rock Shox XX-series forks and Monarch XX rear shocks Can be mounted to. Monarch XX Carbon features instant lockout via an ergonomically superior XLoc hydraulic remote and the weight savings of a new carbon fiber air can. RockShox combined two of its most advanced technologies, a carbon fiber air can and the XLoc hydraulic remote lockout, to create one of the most advanced rear shocks for cross-country racing and trail riding.

So if you’re a lock-out inclined XC rider with a penchant for saving weight, then read on.įor the rider looking for the ultimate speed and efficiency, RockShox introduces the Monarch XX Carbon rear shock. The 100 hydraulic remote lever and system is completely sealed, so unlike cable-actuated units Monarch XX is impervious to contamination. But a few miles on the Monarch XX sure would help inspire a new way of thinking, and riding.When SRAM flicked out a little teaser yesterday with a lo-res photo of this carbon air can equipped rear shock I was tempted to post it up I’m so glad I didn’t with all the info and the proper release coming through just now. If Newton were alive today, we doubt he'd be that stoked to go back to the drawing board with his theories. The 100% hydraulic remote lever and system is completely sealed, so unlike cable-actuated units – Monarch XX is impervious to contamination. Its lightweight design not only delivers silky smooth travel, but thanks to a redesigned Solo Air spring with updated damping controls, it also delivers a spring rate you’d generally only get from a much heavier coil shock. But the Monarch XX does exactly that, providing the ability to lock-out rear suspension via a single bar-mounted XLoc Sprint button. The Monarch is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Simply put, no other shock packs more energy-efficient performance in a lighter weight package – one that seemingly defies Newton’s so-called "laws" of physics. Few things would piss off Newton more than the Monarch XX.
