ADJUSTMENTS AFTER ASSEMBLY
Rear Shock Compression Damping Adjustment
• The RockShox Monarch RT3 has a 3 position compression
switch (open, pedal, and lock). Refer to the graphic indicating
lever position on the shock body.
• Turn the blue lever towards the chain for improved pedalling
efciency on trails, vertical to lock the rear shock for travelling
on smooth terrain, and towards the non-drive side of the bike for
descending.
Tire Pressure
• The recommended minimum initial tire pressure is 20 psi;
adjust the tire pressure accordingly to your preference. Lighter
riders will generally require less air pressure than heavier riders.
Make pressure adjustments at 0.5 psi increments until the
ideal pressure is achieved. Always follow the manufacturer’s
recommended tire pressure range located on the sidewall of the
tire.
• Note: Do not run pressure lower than 20 psi with the stock inner
tubes or you will run the risk of a pinch at.
