Storia V4

EXT Analog Enduro Shock

 

Adding to an already legendary resume, EXT is proud to introduce the new Arma and Storia V4 Series. The V4 is specifically designed to raise the bar on what is possible in MTB damper performance technology. Don’t be fooled by the similar appearance to its V3 predecessor, for beneath the surface the V4 beautifully refines and improves what was already an industry game changer. Building off of their prestigious pedigree in motorsports racing, EXT has worked diligently to put out a damper that ensures its rightful place as innovative industry leaders in the highly competitive MTB marketplace.

The V4 not only retains and refines foundational aspects of the V3, such as its unique mid body damper characteristics, hydraulic bottom-out circuit and notable high speed control, while simultaneously addressing and integrating feedback from our riders. The V4 celebrates a position sensitive rebound hydraulic top out system, frequency dependent damping, an externally adjustable HBC and a steel DLC coated damper shaft. All of this and more coming in a stronger yet quieter package.

TECHNOLOGY and features

-

No more harsh bottom-out! This system makes the compression progressive with damping force increasing in the last 15% of the stroke, allowing for softer spring rates, and offering better traction.

-

An independent circuit valve that produces the support needed for ideal pedaling efficiency. LOK can also be custom tuned based on rider preferences. Available on Storia V4 only.

-

Unique rebound system to avoid harsh top-out while improving bike platform stability.

LOW PRESSURE AIR RESERVOIR

The air contained inside the reservoir is only inflated to 55 psi! This maximizes the sensitivity of the shock for a smoother run!

EV2S SHOCK FLUID

Oil EV2S, a high viscosity index fluid, and phenomenal viscosity ratio.

Tested: EXT Storia V4 - New features and refinements make this the best Storia to date.

21 June 2024

The all-new V4 takes everything we like about the V3, and improves upon it. The V4 is more adjustable and runs quieter, which should put it on the map for a wider range of riders now. If you’re in the market for a high-performance, custom-tuned coil shock, the Storia V4 should definitely make your shortlist.

Review: EXT's New Storia V4 Coil Shock

21 June 2024

The new Storia V4 has all of the features you’d hope to find on a high end coil shock, providing riders with a wide range of possible setup options. In addition, EXT’s lightweight springs help make it one of the lightest coil shocks out there, reducing the inevitable weight penalty that comes when switching from an air shock.

[Test] New EXT Storia V4 rear shock

21 June 2024

On fast bumpy roads, a bit like the Aria, the Storia V4 is an absolute pleasure because the rear wheel stays sticked to the ground. Successive impacts, combined with the retrograde trajectory of the Druid’s rear wheel, are eaten away, leaving the rider with all the peace of mind possible to concentrate on the lines to take.

If you don’t find your bike in the list, it doesn’t mean it’s not compatible: the second column of the table specifies whether the installation was successful or not. These data should only be taken as an indication and do not represent 100% verified information. It’s recommended to verify compatibility by contacting your trusted dealer.

The list is constantly updated with new entries; we suggest checking it periodically!
