Era

Brand: EXT

EXT's first mountain bike fork, launched in 2020 and immediately praised by the press. Made for 29" wheels only, it combines 36 mm stanchions, a forged 7050 aluminium crown and a unique HS3 hybrid spring: two stacked positive air chambers, a negative chamber and a small coil spring at the end of the rod that delivers off-the-top sensitivity worthy of a coil. Internal floating piston (IFP) cartridge derived from shock absorbers, DU bushings taken from rallying, high- and low-speed compression. Expensive and exclusive, it shook up Fox and RockShox as soon as it appeared.
