Custom ENDURO MTB Coil Shock - EXT Storia Lok V3 Review

Extreme Racing Shox or EXT is an Italian suspension supplier, primarily known for its rich motorsports history which includes working with legendary racers like Sebastien Loeb who dominated the World Rally Championship for years aboard his Citroens. In 2014, EXT decided to try its hand at making products for mountain bikes as well, and brought over many of the technologies and the expertise it had developed over the years of motorsports racing. Intended primarily for enduro and gravity riding, the Storia and Arma have been well-received and are now onto their third generations, respectively. We’ve put the latest version of the Storia to the test, watch the video to find out how we’ve been getting along.

After second- xc/flow trail ride had to send in for damper valve warranty. Shock was great after that for a few months. Had to send back under warranty for same issue (though leaking less oil this time last time). Shop said there was a recall on the seal. Just got it back and so far so good. When it’s not at the shop it’s great. Running it on 2021 specialized enduro. Enter then the x2. (That is also always in need of repair).

It’d be interesting to have a comparison to the ElevenSix

I‘ve been running this shock on my Deviate Highlander for some months now. It‘s all and more than described in this video. Yes, it makes sound but it‘s the sound of performance and my Selva Coil Fork does the same.

Very nice. I am not into "Commercials", but I like this one! I am almost sure my next Shoxk with be an Extoria now.

Some of the ext retailers stateside and in France are selling adjustment tools that will have both the small hex and 12mm mini wrench

[SunSnowGravity]

Nice review of a great product. That sound is very strange though.

Hi and thanks for teaching I didn't no the difference but now I know

[paul.p.smellthetruth]

How does it compare to the FAST Suspension Fenix?

[colemitchmtb]

Is that an e13 helix cassette? Nice colors, how do you like it?

[theshortestcharles]

Is there a review on the way for the 2021 DHX2? I'd love to see how it stacks up in comparison to its predecessor and to the Float X2.

[johnnybaridi]

this is pretty much the only review saying that the fox shock is more livelier than the EXT?

[sonnduro]

Please review Push Industries 11 6 coil shock

[camwells]

Love to know when ext owners change springs, what springs they use ?

[b-manz]

Do they provide a small 12mm trail tool ? If not should do because of course you adjust on the trail. Super cool product.

[bertrathkin]

Cool product and video!

I'd love to experience my Kona Process 153 CR 27.5 with better suspension! But this bling surely doesn't come cheap.

[PredatorDK]

Adjustment knobs that require tools is a deal breaker. I absolutely hated this about my BOS dampers.

[nbzness]

I'm 260 lb. Will this shock be suitable for me. Just trail riding and small features

[SUPERCOOLZZ]

Can the 60mm stroke version be extended to 62.5mm? Would this require cutting off the spacer?

[ross_rusher]

Had a ext storia v3, sold it and bought a super deluxe ultimate coil, the sd performed much better. Do miss the hbc but the super deluxe has far suppior small bump sensitivity and over all sensitivity

[nathangaffran]

That’s so weird to adjust compression with a wrench
