Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks and struts have a tapered groove machined into the inside housing. While the piston is in the groove, a soft, comfortable ride is achieved, but when the piston travels above or below the groove, during rough roads or severe handling, the valving stiffens up. Also, the new Monroe Safe-Tech system works with the existing groove-tube technology to provide smoother piston travel, making the Monroe Sensa-Tracs even more responsive than ever to changing road conditions. Monroe Sensa-Tracs are designed to be used when a comfortable ride and not handling is a primary concern. Monroe Reflex shocks and struts delivers an entirely new level of performance. Performance that maximizes safety and control, without compromising comfort. A genuine engineering innovation, the patent-pending impact Sensor technology is the most important development in almost two decades. The patent pending Impact Sensor acts as a switch between firm and soft compression damping. Under normal road conditions, the Monroe Reflex delivers firm handling. When the tire encounters a bump or pothole, the switch opens in just 12 milliseconds, absorbing the impact. The switch then closes in 15 milliseconds, restoring the firm ride and maximizing tire-to-road contact.

Monroe Sensatrac shocks offer a clue within their name to one of their most appreciated features, an impressive sensitivity to changing road conditions. With their innovative design, Monroe Sensatrac shocks are a prime example of why the Monroe name has been associated with quality shocks since 1926, when their first shocks became commercially available. Monroe Sensatrac shocks first hit the market in 1991 and, due their durability and smart design, are now a favorite among car and truck drivers everywhere. The sensitivity of Monroe Sensatrac shocks offers not just a comfortable, smooth ride, but also contributes to confident driving control.
