Hi guys

Can someone tell me the difference between a High Tune, Mid Tune, and Low tune shock? And what difference a high volume can makes?

Thanks :)

    what shock are you looking at?

    High volume cans are much plusher.

    No idea what the other terms mean. I have a Monarch 4.2 and love it.

    the "tune" that you chose depends on the leverage ratio of your suspension.

    the higher the ratio the more work the shock has to do so the "harder" the damping.

    discus your needs with the supplier.
