Overview
EXT Era V2.1: 36 mm enduro fork with HS3 hybrid air spring, 130–170 mm travel and a 3-way adjustable cartridge, priced at EUR 1,759.
The Era is EXT's 36 mm single-crown enduro fork, built around the HS3 hybrid air spring: two adjustable positive air chambers work with one high-volume, self-equalizing negative chamber, complemented by an integrated coil spring for a frictionless initial movement. EXT says the system is focused on mid-stroke support around the dynamic sag position while keeping small-bump sensitivity and bottom-out protection.
The Era V2.1 uses Thixomolded magnesium lowers, a forged 7050 T6 crown with a stem/crown integrated design to raise frontal stiffness and prevent creaking, and DU bushings derived from EXT's World Rally Championship work. A high-volume, 3-way adjustable cartridge (low/high-speed compression and rebound) with a floating internal shaft guide completes the package.
