RockShox Monarch / Monarch Plus Air Valve Assembly

The most common sign is a persistent air leak where your shock loses pressure overnight or during a ride. If you have already ruled out a faulty shock pump or damaged seals, the valve core or the assembly itself is likely the culprit.

This assembly is specifically designed for the Monarch and Monarch Plus models. It is not compatible with other RockShox rear shocks like the Deluxe or Super Deluxe, so please verify your specific shock model before purchasing.

If you are comfortable performing basic suspension maintenance, you can install this yourself. You will need a valve core tool and should ensure all air pressure is completely released from the shock before attempting any disassembly.

Yes, this is a complete assembly that includes the valve housing and the core. It is ready to be threaded into your shock body as soon as you remove the old, faulty unit.

Not necessarily. While this part fixes air leaks, bottoming out is usually caused by incorrect air pressure settings or a lack of volume spacers. If your shock holds air pressure consistently but still feels too soft, you should check your sag and volume spacer configuration first.
