From Concept to Production: How the EXT V3 Shock Is Made 16

Here is the whole trip our shocks do, from our engineers' concept, to production, from simulation, to testing. Here is how the best shocks are built.

As soon as I can buy mine from south africa using a credit card, i'll finally have this most desirable piece of engineering.
but alas, i'm stuck with SWIFT payments.

Ping me a DM. I can help here if needed, ordered a couple of EXT shocks from the guys, and looking to order again in the next month or so.

I test rode this shock this last fall in Colorado, the rebound stack was too slow running it wide open. I couldn't tune it to perform on my Reved GG Smash, I came away with a negative impression after two rides, no comparison to the 11.6 which was great.

Hmm because the rebound stack wasn’t right for your riding your conclusion is that it’s a bad shock? If it had appropriate rebound / compression setting for your bike and weight I’m guessing your experience would have been very different, which is exactly what you would get buying it.

Thanks Pocgnikuf for your feedback, everything is good to improve our work.
Every shock is custom tuned for bike/rider, so for example a shock tuned for GG Smash / 70 kgs rider runs a different shim stack compared to a 90 kgs one.
Hope to let you have chance in future to ride a proper tuned one.
Thanks a lot.

I had to speak with S4 Suspension today on another matter and they said that they aren’t an official service center but they have had no issues working on EXT’s in the past.

Hello Jay, thanks a lot for appreciation in our work.
We currently have 2 official service point based in Canada, one in Quebec area 'Boreal Bike Shop' and one in Whistler 'Alba distribution'.
They're both very skilled and you can rely on their work.
Thanks a lot.
