Overview
EXT Aria V2: enduro/trail air shock with AS3 dual positive chambers, LOK 2.0 and adjustable HBC, 622 g (210×55), priced at EUR 1,100.
The Aria V2 is a comprehensive evolution of EXT's air shock for enduro and trail, built to give an air shock some of the sensitivity riders associate with coil. Its patented AS3 technology uses two positive air chambers: the + chamber sets sag and behaviour over the first ~60% of travel, while the ++ chamber shapes mid-to-late stroke support and ramp-up, replacing volume tokens.
The damper shares its compression valve with the V4 coil series and adds LOK 2.0 and an adjustable HBC. A vertical piggyback orientation and smaller valve block widen frame compatibility, and revised seals with an internal, oil-bathed bushing cut friction.
- AS3 dual positive air chamber: tune progression without tokens
- HSC, LSC and rebound adjustment; same compression valve as V4
- LOK 2.0 and adjustable HBC
- Vertical piggyback for wider frame compatibility
- 622 g (210×55); EUR 1,100
