What if an air shock could deliver the key characteristics riders traditionally look for in a coil shock? Do the characteristics we associate with one technology necessarily have to belong exclusively to it? EXT didn't think so and the Aria DH is the proof of that. The Aria DH is a comprehensive evolution of EXT’s air shock platform. EXT developed the Aria DH around air’s core strengths: precise control over the spring curve, allowing the support to be shaped around the rider and the bike, while minimizing the drawbacks of air shocks and providing the sensitivity coil shocks are known for. CORE FEATURES AS3 technology: the dual positive chamber featuring only 2 dynamic seals to separate the 3 different chambers. (EXT unique patented design) Positive chamber +/++ (low/high) with endless adjustment potential via 2 separate air valves to finetune the spring characteristics. Negative self-activating large volume chamber. NEW Redesigned Air Transfer System: A refined bypass between the positive and negative chambers creates a significantly smoother transition throughout the stroke, eliminating mid-stroke feedback. NEW Optimized Airflow: Airflow along the positive chamber’s inner tube has been revised to ensure predictable, linear behavior even under rapid compression and high-speed impacts. NEW Improved Seals & Friction Reduction: Optimized seal profiles and materials minimize friction to enhance sensitivity and maintain consistent performance. The upper bushing is now positioned internally and in direct contact with the damping oil, ensuring smoother movement across full travel. NEW Compact Architecture: A new vertical piggyback orientation and a reduced valve block footprint expand installation possibilities and frame clearance. Unique air seals design based on aerospace technology. 14 mm superlight weight internal shaft Large 28mm hydraulic main piston NEW Adjustable Hydraulic Bottom-Out Circuit (HBC) with larger effective range specific to DH use Proprietary “Super Finish” surface treatment on sliding parts Easy Tuning supported by EXT RideMaster online portal
