#Rockshox xloc remote not working fullRockShox XLoc Full Sprint – Dual Hydraulic Lockout Remote Twin hoses for the XLoc Full SprintĮver wished you could lock out your front and rear RockShox suspension instantly and simultaneously, to get the extra edge for that final sprint to the finish or the grueling tarmac climb to the top of your favorite trail? Here comes XLoc Full Sprint, which allows you to lock your SID or Revelation XX fork and your Monarch XX rear shock with the simple push of your thumb. New and improved seals help keep the Monarch rear shocks performance constant and reduce friction, retaining Monarch’s position as the best performing, most-versatile air shocks on the market. HV-i couples perfectly with bikes that need a little less progression, but don’t need the full High Volume air can system. It allows for a higher volume, less progressive shock without the bulk or weight of the full High Volume air can. On top of that, Monarch RT3, XX, RL, RT and R now features a high volume eyelet option called HV-i. That new bulge at the bottom of the new air can isn’t an extraneous industrial design feature, it’s a redesign of the negative air volume in the Solo Air spring system that improves small bump performance. These refined beauties run smoother, quieter and more consistent than any previous version of Monarch. In addition to the new Rapid Recovery rebound tune, Monarch XX, RL, RT, and R have improved compression circuits that improves compression bump performance while expanding the tuning flexibility for bike brands, allowing even further refinement to their chosen tune. Then entire Monarch family now is tuned with Rapid Recovery. Monarch RT3 paved the way last year with the introduction of Rapid Recovery with it’s all new damper design: now the rest of the family follows. THROWING GAS ON THE FIRE Monarch XX now with remote lock out Where the alloy cans have a tiny nub on the outside where the check valve is, there’s a small hump on the carbon shell.More news from Rockshox this time an updated Monarch and introducing XLoc Full Sprint, twin lock out lever for forks and shock… The Monarch XX and RT3 use a Solo Air design to set the negative pressure automatically. Boobar says there’s no additional wear on the inside of the carbon can versus their alloy can, and they use a proprietary resin and construction method to keep the oil from affecting the resin or seeping through. The carbon air can is full carbon except a small aluminum seal gland (opposite end of what’s shown here) that provides a much higher tolerance precision to keep the seal tight and properly positioned. MSRP is $540 for the carbon version, which is the only one available aftermarket. So, for now, rest easy knowing that they’ve thought about it but are stopping short of saying they’re presently working on it. Unfortunately, the amount of flow and pressure required to unlock the shock is too different from what makes their forks work. Yes, they’ve looked at doing a dual XLoc lever to simultaneously lockout the shock and an XX fork, but Boobar says if it were an easy solution, they’ be leading with it. The rebound damping is controlled by the red knob, which has one slightly larger nub to provide a visual clue as to it’s position within the range of settings. The Monarch RT3, by comparison, keeps it’s three distinct compression settings, making it the better option for riders that still want some (albeit much firmer) suspension in the third setting. So, the lockout is created hydraulically rather than mechanically. To lock it out, there are two pistons and the second one is like a top hat that covers the main piston to prevent oil flow. It gets a completely different damper than the RT3, much more similar to the internals of the Ario. Rockshox says they did this because it keeps the system very simple and because their athletes said they wanted a hardtail feel when it was locked. There’s no Floodgate, so when it’s locked it’s fully rigid. Speaking of performance, the XLoc remote works just like with the forks, press it in for action, release it to lock things out. Product manager Jeremiah Boobar says that’s a significant drop in weight without sacrificing any performance when you look at the percentage. Like the carbon Monarch RT3, the carbon air can only saves 15g, but it’s worth mentioning that 15g is fully half the ~30g weight of the alloy air can. The carbon-bodied shock weighs in at just 275g with remote, and 290g for alloy.
