  • 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).

      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.

      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.
