EXT Aria

CORE FEATURES AS3 technology: the dual positive chamber featuring only 2 dynamic seals to separate the 3 different chambers. (EXT unique patented design) Positive chamber +/++ (low/high) with endless adjustment potential via 2 separate air valves to finetune the spring characteristics. Negative self-activating large volume chamber. Unique air seals design based on aerospace technology. Lok 2.0 technology. 14 mm superlight weight internal shaft Large 28mm hydraulic main piston Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom-Out Circuit (HBC) Proprietary “Super Finish” surface treatment on sliding parts NOTE 1: The max equivalent spring rate for the Aria air spring is a 600lb coil. We strongly suggest considering a coil shock if you need a spring rate higher than this as it will provide the best performance for your needs. NOTE 2: As this is a brand new product we are still analyzing fitment on frames as quickly as we can. As such it is imperative that fitment is tested before use by installing the shock on the frame and slowly cycling the suspension completely through the travel to ensure adequate clearance.
