Adding to an already legendary resume, EXT is proud to introduce the new Arma and Storia V4 Series.
The V4 is specifically designed to raise the bar on what is possible in MTB damper performance technology.
Don’t be fooled by the similar appearance to its V3 predecessor, for beneath the surface the V4 beautifully refines and improves what was already an industry game changer.
Building off of their prestigious pedigree in motorsports racing, EXT has worked diligently to put out a damper that ensures its rightful place as innovative industry leaders in the highly competitive MTB marketplace.
The V4 not only 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.

Tested: EXT Storia V4 - New features and refinements make this the best Storia to date.
The all-new V4 takes everything we like about the V3, and improves upon it. The V4 is more adjustable and runs quieter, which should put it on the map for a wider range of riders now. If you’re in the market for a high-performance, custom-tuned coil shock, the Storia V4 should definitelyShow more

[Test] New EXT Storia V4 rear shock
21 June 2024
On fast bumpy roads, a bit like the Aria, the Storia V4 is an absolute pleasure because the rear wheel stays sticked to the ground. Successive impacts, combined with the retrograde trajectory of the Druid’s rear wheel, are eaten away, leaving the rider with all the peace of mind possible to concentrate onShow more
