mono = singleshock = shock absorber
monoshock = single absorber
why? better ride quality during bumpy cornering, because both left and right swing arms travel are equally balanced..
if using dual shock (each shock at each swing arm), both swing arms travel will not balance, one goes down or goes up more than the other....

Advantages of Dual Shocks:
* Carries extra load.
* Absorbs bumps well.
* Gives a smoother ride through rough terrain.
* Costs cheaper to service and maintain.
* Reduces load off the chassis.
Advantages of Mono Shocks:
* Better Cornering and Highway stability.
* Allows higher suspension and swingarm travel.
* Eliminate torque to the swingarm.
* Easy to tune and adjust.
* Better handling and ride ability.
Disadvantages of Dual Shocks:
* Travel matching is tough.
* Does not provide proper cornering confidence.
* Ride is compromised at high speed.
Disadvantages of Mono Shocks:
* Cost of ownership and maintenance is high.
* Cannot carry excess load.
* Can give in and have the bike stranded.
* Age of monoshocks is less.
