The bikes we ride and the riders riding them are becoming faster and a lot of that speed is coming from the impressive advances in E-bike technology and the access they have given to a larger group of people. Riders are pushing to new places and making the most of riding from their doorstep. Additionally this new generation of E-bike is appearing, they’re lighter and have longer travel, making their leverage ratios and suspension curves push beyond the boundaries of many current damper designs.
At EXT we have a simple goal: Make the best suspensions to improve performance,
reliability and safer riding on any bike.
This isn’t without challenges, E-bikes generate more suspension stress but most run
the same shock sizing as their analog counterparts. Luckily, Ext has decades of experience building the world’s most compact high performance dampers, some of which were used in Formula One and WRC. If anyone can maximize damper performance in challenging environments, it’s us.
That’s why we developed the e-Storia.
