Custom ENDURO MTB Coil Shock - EXT Storia Lok V3 Review

- čas přidán 17. 06. 2024
- 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
they say its even better
Have both.. Ext is way better
@CHELSKI9 yep... Go for EXT
@@Vanguard152 better in what way?
Very nice. I am not into "Commercials", but I like this one! I am almost sure my next Shoxk with be an Extoria now.
Great review.
Awesome video guys.
Hi and thanks for teaching I didn't no the difference but now I know
Love the EXT
I love my Storia ❤️
Some of the ext retailers stateside and in France are selling adjustment tools that will have both the small hex and 12mm mini wrench
Nice review of a great product. That sound is very strange though.
I have this shock, it's not as loud but I still have that sound, but might depend on settings, and on how hard tthe shock is compressed, but during riding I mostly don't hear it.
Vital probably had microphone close to the shock, thus making it sound loud.

me bombing down a rough downhill only ski track: czcams.com/video/eOJngBso3O0/video.html there I can hear the clak clak sound from tthe plastic ring.
on a rocky section downhill not very fast I don't hear it: czcams.com/video/ziG23cm6SdE/video.html

I am 86kg fully kitted, the high & low compression & rebound are all at 2 clicks, 400 pund spring.

You might notice in my videos that on tthe rougherr sections it's some sound like in Vital mtb showed, but it's not distracting, but it's silent on tthe not so rough stuff.
While riding on the grass trail it's silence. my Timber Bell is much louder.
@@mtbboy1993 nice piece of hardware you have there. I decided for a DB Coil Inline mostly for costs reasons but I will probably buy this one with a new bike, once my skills get better.
@@SunSnowGravity Mine has spherical bearings to reduce stiction, a frame can flex under heavy loads, so this makes it perform even better, it comes stock on tthe G1.
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.
What made you pick the EXT over the Formula Mod? Also how do you like the Selva? It’s on my list, I want one!
@@ryantiberti5377 The EXT was available and from what I've read about the MOD it has some spring rubbing against the body issues. It cannot be run with the eyelets in 90° difference either. The Selva C is a very good fork and not far away from the EXT Era V2 I have on my bike now.
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.
£1000 for the shock
Do they provide a small 12mm trail tool ? If not should do because of course you adjust on the trail. Super cool product.
Ext era fork review please!!!
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.
Yep, we've got JUST the test you are waiting for in the works, stay tuned!
Love to know when ext owners change springs , what springs they use ?
Can the 60mm stroke version be extended to 62.5mm? Would this require cutting off the spacer?
Please review Push Industries 11 6 coil shock
How much do u weight ? And what spring rate are you using ?
What trail did you test the orbea on
Is that an e13 helix cassette? Nice colors, how do you like it?
It is! And we like it quite a lot, check out the review here for more: www.vitalmtb.com/product/guide/Cassettes,26/e-thirteen/Helix-R,31727#product-reviews/3934.
'No it' s a mig-17
How does it compare to the FAST Suspension Fenix?
Where was it filmed?
I'm 260 lb. Will this shock be suitable for me. Just trail riding and small features
Formula coil shock review soon? PLS!
When will you be testing the new EXT Era fork?
soon, we hope!
When are you going to review their fork the EXT era?
soon, we hope!
Heard this works on sur ron
Anyone know what the axle to crown is on the fox 38
Which spring rate did you run on the EXT shock? What was the riders weight? I assume you had the same spring rate also on the Fox and Öhlins shock?
350/375. Rider weighs about 190 lbs (87 kg). This bike has a very low leverage ratio (long shock stroke). Yes the same spring rates were used in testing of course.
@@vitalmtb Thank you. Was your shock 230mm or 250mm eye to eye? Thats a very low spring rate. Interesting. I ride a 500lbs spring with Marzocchi CR Bomber 230x65 on my YT Capra 29. Geared up I am around 90kg
@@swiss_lawn23 this is the 27 Capra, so the 250mm eye-to-eye with 75mm stroke (180 travel). 180/75 = 2.4, compared to your 170/65 = 2.6 (it's not that simple because the rate also varies within the stroke, getting more progressive the deeper you go...but it gives an idea).
That’s so weird to adjust compression with a wrench
I used a Socket and a mini ratchet wrench. but you can easily have that in a backpack if needed. but yes, that's one of the gripes I have with it too, but once I set it up I don't fiddle with it anymore.
I believe Geometron are working on a tool. No different to having allen keys with the dhx2
@@chrisuhracing I haven't heard or seen anything about it anywhere, thx for sharing.
@@chrisuhracing For united states customers there is a 3D printed tool that is included with all shocks.
That`s Racing! ;)
Did you cracked the chainstay of your Capra allready?
No we haven't. We must be doing it wrong???
@@vitalmtb thats happening to most of the aluminium models,I cracked mine twice in a year.
I just realized that yours is carbon,the paintjob is almost the same as on the aluminium Capra.
i wander if ext storia works on a scott ransom(worth it?)...
It does. I know 3 people with one on the ransom and they love it.
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
@Bob Longhorn wasn't very sensitive in comparison, even running undersprung. It was 250 aud to get it tuned each time and wss just getting to be a money grab and the super deluxe ult coil just performed way better while not costing more to service or retune.
@@ross_rusher0243 Your bike?
YOU CAN BUY DE SD WITH HBO NOW
Adjustment knobs that require tools is a deal breaker. I absolutely hated this about my BOS dampers.
Do you know a coil for a trek fuel
Any coil with a progressive spring cause that frame is really linear
You could buy any could you want, this one would be good because it has the hydraulic bottom out control, it’s expensive though. You could get any other coils shock and put a progressive spring on it, something like the ones sold by mrp or cane creek
Thank you
How does it compare to push
Push doesn't make a shock for this bike, so we can't give you a direct comparison.
Fife & Flow did a review on it czcams.com/video/0mgKEPjyDag/video.html
and
czcams.com/video/eo-nO0CMimk/video.html&ab_channel=Fife%26Flow
he tried the Push ELEVENSIX shock and he prefers the EXT Storia LOK 3
I haven't tried both, but I am just sharing this.
@@vitalmtb dang yt uses a weird shock size I guess
@@RCKING1 250x75 is actually a standard metric size so not out of the ordinary at all. It is what you see on most new DH bikes now (or 225x75 which is the trunnion equivalent)
I could really use that blow off valve...
Don't they know that a wrench is not part of the multiset?
38 Öhlins?
nope, 36. Aftermarket 38 is not available yet.
compare it with formulas mod
Chrome shaft would have made it unique, but with that old school shaft it looks just like last years shock.
loc
Sounds expensive
we literally display the price at :59
If you compare it to a DHX-2 including the price of a SLS coil and custom tuning it is very much in line.
Nice shock but that sound is a real turnoff
A wrench? Gtfo
