But the EXT was the first suspension product I'd used and felt a real tangible difference. Its just incredibley supple of the top, it sags a few mm under the weight of the bike.
The increase in grip is very noticeable, the wheel feels like its stuck to the ground
Sounds like you need a fork upgrade now ;-)

Oh don't start me 😂
The EXT ERA fork is currently only available in 29er size.
I'm keeping it real with the fun sized 27.5 wheels.The ERA fork does seem a bit complicated though, various positive and negtive chambers and even a negative coil spring?
I've actually got a Vorsprung Smashpot coil conversion still sat in the box waiting to go inside my Lyriks forks. Which reminds me I'll need to document the process in my Current Projects thread.
I did ask EXT if they are considering developing a damper to drop into a dh fork like boxxer/40's and they said watch this space...

Oh it was more just the actual speed of the rebound was a tad too slow even in its fastest setting. So they retuned it for free. I think that's part of thier policy, if its re-valved and its still not right they will take it back and re-tune until you're happy.
But being able to tell the difference between suspension, especially rear shocks, is something that's not easy to spot if I'm honest. I couldn't really feel much of a difference between a dhx2 coil and a much cheaper x-fusion coil.
Even with forks, once you're past a certain price point they all feel much of a muchness. Not sure I could tell fox/rockshox apart in a blind test.

I appreciate I'm sounding a bit fanboy here though. The price is hard to ignore but if you were considering £900 on a Fox shock then you might as well go with the EXT for another £50!
