What is a monotube shock?
A monotube shock uses a single tube with a free-floating dividing piston that separates the fluid from a high-pressure nitrogen gas charge, helping reduce shock fade and aeration.

Common signs include excessive bouncing, nose dive when braking, poor handling, uneven tire wear, or fluid leaking from the shock. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
