This bike has a Fox Vanilla, one with a spring and no dampening adjustment, only preload for the spring.
The Monarch is a great shock, and has been working really well. It feels like a totally different bike than it did with the old Fox on it, and I've been able to tweak the settings after loosing around 20 lbs last summer.
Here's a pic of mine with the Monarch installed:
