RockShox Monarch Rear Shock Service Kit

As the name suggests, you should perform this service every 50 hours of ride time. If you ride in particularly muddy, dusty, or wet conditions, you may want to service it more frequently to prevent premature wear on your shock's internal surfaces.

Yes, this kit contains all the essential air can seals and wipers required to refresh your shock. It is designed specifically for a standard air can maintenance procedure to restore smooth operation and prevent air leaks.

This kit is compatible with RockShox Monarch B1, Plus, XX, RL, C1, R, RT3, and D1 models from 2014 and newer. It also works with Ario, DebonAir, and Vivid Air models, but always check your shock's specific serial number or model year against the manufacturer's service manual to be certain.

It is a manageable task for most home mechanics with basic tools, but it does require precision. You will need a shock pump, a strap wrench, and the correct suspension fluid, so ensure you have the official RockShox service manual handy before you begin.

You likely need a service if you notice your shock feeling 'stiction-y' or less plush than usual, if it is losing air pressure over time, or if you see oil leaking around the main seal. These are all clear indicators that the internal seals have degraded and need replacing.
