EXT

Vaia Fork, 29", 10mm Drop, 20mm Axle

EXT Vaia is a 29er-ready, dual-crown inverted DH fork built for riders who want a wide tuning range, high fore-aft stiffness, and consistent small-bump sensitivity at race speeds. With 38.5mm stanchions, a floating bushing system, and a highly adjustable air and damper architecture, it targets downhill and bike-park setups where traction, support, and repeatability matter more than chasing gram counts.

Tuning and hardware details that matter on the trail

1. Dual-crown inverted chassis with 38.5mm stanchions - Built for high-load downhill braking and compressions, with the steering precision riders expect from a dual-crown DH fork.
2. Floating bushing system with 240mm overlap at sag - Designed to keep alignment under load, helping the fork track cleanly through repeated hits while maintaining smooth stroke feel.
3. Independent high/low-speed compression and rebound adjustments - Makes it possible to separate big-hit support from small-bump compliance and dial rebound control for everything from steep chutes to high-speed chatter.
4. HS3 air cartridge with two positive chambers + tunable negative volume - Expands spring-curve control for better mid-stroke support without giving up initial sensitivity; negative volume tuning helps match feel to rider weight and terrain.
5. 20mm Grade 5 titanium axle, pressure-release bleed buttons, and adjustable rake - A stiff, lightweight axle and quick leg-bleeding for consistent performance; rake can be set to 44mm or 48mm to fine-tune handling.
