Vaia 29" Dual Crown Suspension Fork - 200mm Travel

The EXT Vaia 29" is a dual-crown, inverted downhill suspension fork built for riders who want maximum fore-aft tracking, high-speed composure, and a wide tuning window from the same chassis. With 200mm travel, oversized 38.5mm stanchions, and a long-overlap floating bushing system, it targets aggressive DH riding where small-bump sensitivity and brake-bump control matter as much as outright stiffness.

Key performance details DH riders actually tune around

1. Inverted dual-crown chassis with 38.5mm stanchions - Designed to stay precise under heavy loads while keeping the front wheel planted through repeated impacts
2. Floating bushing system - Delivers an exceptional 240mm bushing overlap at sag to support smooth, controlled travel and reduce binding when the fork is pushed hard
3. High/low-speed compression + rebound adjustment - Cartridge-based damping with low-friction seals and high dynamic response valves for meaningful tuning across steep chutes, brake bumps, and big compressions
4. HS3 air spring with dual positive chambers - Two independent positive air chambers expand setup range, helping riders balance mid-stroke support with bottom-out control
5. Tunable negative chamber volume - Allows sensitivity to be shaped for traction and comfort without forcing a one-size-fits-all feel
6. Bleed buttons on both legs - Quick pressure equalization for consistent feel across long descents and big temperature swings
