This is the 1st air shock from EXT, it is called the ARIA, “air” in Italian... which is saturated in novel technology and design approach. Though the EXT brand has become synonymous with the unrivalled performance of coil shocks, their knowledge of air spring technologies actually began in the Williams Formula 1 program developing products for the highest forms of racing.

The brand has taken the concept of twin positive air from their Era fork and applied it to the new Aria shock, creating a huge range of spring curve adjustments without the need to mess with volume spacers. The Aria hydraulic system is based on the EXT E-Storia, featuring the same high-speed and low-speed compression and rebound circuits, a firm lockout system, and adjustable hydraulic bottom-out controls. This combination of features makes the Aria one of the best available in air damping technology, offering improved performance and versatility.

Plainly put, EXT’s Aria is not your conventional air damper. The combination of many of EXT’s proven features and a revolutionary air spring make it stand out from anything else on the market.
