No, not the Debonair. It's much smoother than the original shock. Good mid stroke support and no harsh bottoming. I have tried flicking the compression lever but it's not worth the effort. The bike rides nicely in the fully open setting.
My Mk9 is set up with 140mm of travel, not 160mm.

Interesting... so the corset/evol sleeve didn't work out?
report back on the RS!

I rung him twice and sent an email a month or so ago, heard nothing. Decided on another option than a Liteville.

re
I have tried eightyonespices and he could only provide monarch debonair. ,and hasn't told me tune yet.
Emailed liteville in home office not sure if they didn't understand but reply was we can provide shock tuned ready to go in rockshox monarch debonair. Only .
But did not tell me tune base for rockshox monarch plus rc3. .
Corset evol fox shock is good but not great .
If i run lower air its action throughout is really great but it then creates a low BB . And becomes too spongy when sprinting or climbing.
Pump it up it rides better all round but you loose that super smooth ride that was there before ,
So plan to get monarch debonair plus to suit my 170mm lyrik which are awsome . When you have those oh shoot moments a nanosecond after, you go its ok i can plough those forks through and it will be all good .

Hmm. Can you look up the tune on your fox, and then get whoever supplies your RS shock to match it? Put the 4 letter code where it says '4 digit code' here:

So my shock says CMY7, I get back from fox:
2014, FLOAT-K F-S, CTD-Adj BV LV, Liteville, 301, 7.875, 2.250, 0.6 Spacer, VTM, RTM, 175, 16
Up till spacer it makes sense. I *think*:
VTM = velocity (or compression) tune medium
RTM = rebound tune medium
175 = boost valve pressure?
16 = ??
I guess you could call up a suspension tuner with these numbers and get something similar in the RS?
Been tempted to try out an XF vector air, since a while ago I realised my CTD shock really doesn't need C, or T after fork upgrade and adding a bigger spacer. Not tempted enough yet...

A lump of wood would be nicer than the DT Swiss.
CCDB Air would be my preference, then tune to your hearts content.
