Know before you buy
RockShox generally recommends a full air can service every 50 hours of riding. If you ride in particularly dusty, muddy, or wet conditions, you may need to perform this maintenance more frequently to prevent premature wear.
This kit is designed for the Ario, Monarch, Monarch RT3, DebonAir, and Monarch Plus series. Always verify your specific shock model and year before purchasing, as internal seal configurations can vary.
This kit focuses on the replacement seals and wipers. You will need to purchase the appropriate suspension grease or oil separately to lubricate the new seals during installation.
If you are comfortable with basic bike maintenance and have the correct tools, this is a manageable DIY task. However, if you are unsure about the process or lack the necessary torque wrenches and seal picks, a professional shop visit is recommended to avoid damaging the shock body.
Common indicators include a noticeable loss of air pressure, a 'sticky' or harsh feel in the suspension stroke, or visible oil weeping around the wiper seal. If your shock feels less responsive than usual, it is likely time for a refresh.
