Storia V4

V4 Series

A decade in the making

The V4 retains and refines foundational aspects of the V3, such as its unique mid body damper characteristics, hydraulic bottom-out circuit and notable high speed control, while simultaneously addressing and integrating feedback from our riders. The V4 celebrates a position sensitive rebound hydraulic top out system, frequency dependent damping, an externally adjustable HBC and a steel DLC coated damper shaft. All of this and more coming in a stronger yet quieter package

hydraulic bottom out

First developed for WRC project by EXT, HBC system is a position sensitive damper valve composed by a secondary piston assembled below the main one and an inner tube on the bottom of the damper. When you get close to the end of the stroke, the secondary piston engages the inner tube, so the oil must flow through a calibrated orifice that characterizes the end stroke ramp.

LOK 2.0

The Aria shock features the LOK 2.0 proprietary EXT technology, (aka pro-pedal switch), already well-known throughout the product line up. This known system uses an independent circuit valve that produces the support needed for ideal pedaling efficiency. In open mode, the LOK circuit is excluded, and when closed, the oil must flow through a preloaded shimmed valve increasing compression force. This shim-based design provides enough sensitivity and support to increase overall traction on rough terrain. This LOK system can also be custom tuned, based on rider preferences.

Consistency through the run

• Very high viscosity index and ratio for stability through different temperature changes and stress
• 0.80 g/cc density to provide smoothness and lubricity
• Reduced foam formation and air entrainment
• Complete compatibility with rubber seals
