Just when I had my new fork choices narrowed down to Fox, RS and DVO another company had to come out with something that at least on paper looks very promising.

I'm not one who likes buying the first model of anything though.

Thanks for sharing.

The EXT STORIA rear shock feels great... quite a noticeable difference compared with the air rockshox my Norco vlt sight came with.... remarkably the STORIA feels stable, planted and then behaves lively and poppy to dial in with trail features transfers to send it...
EXT tune each shock to preform with the bikes manufactures suspension curve... not going to be cheap, but hey, highly rated!

Brothers running their shock and fork on his Kenevo and absolutely loves it!
I rode it and found it to be pretty good! Much better than the stock components.
Comparing it to my Ohlins gear I used to run, it felt smoother on the stair climb test and similar dropping off the stairs. Not sure how it handles the harcore stuff as I didn’t test that out but he says it’s amazing.

I’ve got an ext storia on my 21 meta sx absolutely love it definitely an improvement and cheaper than the fox dhx2 when you factor in spring costs

I ran a Storia on my Rail for a while but had to compromise on travel a bit Vs shocks with a different piggyback orientation.

Now have a SS 11-6 instead. I don't need the whole '2 shocks in one' thing they have going on, its run in DH or open mode all the time. They are comparable in terms of feel/performance though.

Ultimately if you can invest the time in setting up the shock properly, even having an off the shelf well set up shock will be significantly better than a poorly set up high end fancy one. You can fall in the trap of more knobs & dials make it significantly easier to make it feel like crap.

I'm interested to try the EXT stuff on my non eeb, as I think well set up suspension makes a bigger difference, but not for the amount of money they charge!

Gamechanger for me tbh, the way the bike grips now is like its glued to the floor, I still get pop when needed too, it’s just given me instant confidence, they did dial in the fox fork for me also although I’ve already bottomed that out with it being 150
