On the ERA V2 Long Travel EXT have 10 or 20 mm more. Like the Era V2.1, the travel of the fork can be managed by adding or removing spacers inside the air spring system. The stiffer construction of the lower structure makes the ERA V2 Long Travel fork particularly suitable for an e-bikes use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eØ 36 mm stanchions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated to long travel enduro bike and e-bikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStem\/crown integrated design to increase frontal stiffness and prevent cracking noises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHS3 Hybrid System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew self adjusting larger negative chamber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-flow 3-way cartridge with high-speed \u0026amp; low-speed compression plus rebound adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLowers with floating axle design in order to minimize friction and stiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated “Thixomolding Lower Technology” construction with increased torsional and axial stiffness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated stanchion construction with increased wall thickness to enhance stiffness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased DU guiding system overlap to implement safety and riding precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew hydraulic specification for better damping adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTechnologies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHydraulic bottom-out control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe HBC system is a position sensitive damper valve made of a secondary piston assembled below the main one, and an inner tube near the bottom of the damper. When the rider gets close to the end of the stroke, the secondary piston goes inside the inner tube, forcing the oil flow through a calibrated orifice that characterizes the end stroke ramp up. EXT’s HBC system engages just in the last 15% of the stroke and it’s also externally adjustable to match your weight, riding preferences and style.\u003cbr\u003eThis system makes the compression progressive, allowing lower spring-rate settings of the dampers and offering a balanced feeling and better traction. So, you can rely on a very plush feeling and a great support on the last millimeters of your bike’s rear travel. On the graph it is shown how HBC controls the last part of the stroke. The peak on the right side is the strength achieved by the shock when the HBC is full closed. The Hydraulic Bottom Out Control adjuster is located just above compression valve. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLok 2.0 system\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of our MTB dampers feature the LOK 2.0 proprietary EXT technology, (aka pro-pedal switch), already well-known throughout the product line up. A 2-Way lock-out system improved to avoid any kind of bobbing while you pedal on every types of surface. Completely customizable, the LOK system has a blow-off valve that prevents any kind of damage if you forget the LOK lever before a downhill ride. It is made up of a completely independent valve system that controls the oil flow in a separate chamber and allows you to get the support needed for the best 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. Now, the LOK 2.0 system can also be custom tuned based on rider preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAir spring 3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe core of the Aria is in the innovative dual positive air chambers and a large negative self-equalizing chamber. This system allows for extensive control over the shock’s air spring curve characteristics, giving you fine tune capabilities throughout the entire stroke. The dynamic nature of EXT’s twin positive air chambers virtually eliminates all negative aspects intrinsic to the volume spacer systems of competitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640\" height=\"345\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O5lPfHxEbSs\" title='EXT original HBC \"Hydraulic Bottom-Out Control\" - Technology explained' frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"640\" height=\"345\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vlMluRBBih0\" title=\"Ext Storia V3 Lok System Explained\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"EXT Shox","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 180 mm","offer_id":48058183680241,"sku":"AAB01GA0587-180-01","price":2145.72,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 190 mm","offer_id":48058183713009,"sku":"AAB01GA0587-190-01","price":2145.72,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/1580\/4145\/files\/zm_20241030-091540.jpg?v=1776529916","url":"https:\/\/novasportsbikes.com\/products\/ext-shox-era-v2-lt-hs3-air-spring-rake-44-mm-tapered-29-fork-1","provider":"Nova Sports Bikes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
