Aria

Mtb and E-Mtb enduro shock

 

As this is the first air shock from EXT, it is called the ARIA, “air” in Italian. It is completely saturated in novel technology and design approach. Though the EXT brand has become synonymous with unrivaled performance of coil shocks, our knowledge of air spring technology actually began with the William F1 active suspensions project a long time ago, developing products for the highest forms of racing.
EXT took the innovative dual-positive air chamber concept originally made for the Era fork and formatted a new version of it to fit the unique needs of the Aria application. From this groundwork we have created a shock featuring a noticeably improved air-spring, capable of reaching high levels of sensitivity and support currently only achievable with coil sprung shocks.

TECHNOLOGY and features

ADJUSTABLE HBC

No more harsh bottom-out! This system makes the compression progressive, allowing for lower air pressure settings inside the chambers, and offering better traction.

LOK 2.0

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

AIR SPRING 3

Innovative dual positive air chambers and a large negative self-equalizing chamber. This system allows for extensive control over the shock’s air spring curve characteristics.

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!

Specifications

The database is populated with data from the fitting experiences of our distributors and dealers.

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!
