Snitches get stitches.....lol The DHX has a 14mm shock shaft, while the DHX2 only has a 10mm shock shaft. So I think the DHX should be fine with the Levo.

I've heard rumors of Specialized dropping a new bike next year with this new Brose gearbox motor. 2024 is going to get interesting.

EXT e-Storia has a hydraulic bottom out that you can adjust, which is a great feature. You tune it up so that it ramps out closer to bottom out.

So how much longer before the EXT air shock releases?

I did.....lol

well there we have it….lol I don’t mind eating a little crow….lol I’m honestly shocked about the aluminum, aluminum is a pretty soft material when it comes to stuff rubbing on it.

I just got back from a ride, I will vouch for anyone on the fence thinking about a E-Storia that it’s completely changed how my bike feels. And for the better. I also got tired of sending DHX2 shocks in to be rebuilt every 4-6 months from blown seals. I had two of them and have sold both since...

they adjusted the valving for your specific weight or they told you to pick out two spring rates to go with your shock? my shock didn’t come with custom valving from Alba the Canadian distributor for EXT. So I’m not sure how you’re saying I’m wrong?…..lol I know for a fact my E-Storia came...

sorry not true, if you order directly from EXT they offer custom tunes. I live in Canada and purchased my shock through Alba, it comes with an off the shelf emtb tune from EXT. Not a custom tune specifically for me.

there is zero chance they are using aluminum for a shock shaft, just the friction of the seals against the shaft would wear it down. they are using a hardened steel shaft, I would even to say there is no one in any form of suspension manufacturing using aluminum for shock shafts.

just because the e-storia exists with a shim stack and valving for eBike use doesn’t mean if would have a different shaft material. Look at the weight of the e-storia, its an eBike shock and it’s not really any heavier that the other two models. I’m sure you could easily contact EXT and ask...

why would EXT use different materials for different shock shafts? I think it’s fairly safe to assume they all use the same shafts.

Its not an aluminum shaft….lol It’s Chromemoly steel.

the e-Storia has a 14mm chromemoly steel shaft. It’s steel.

i would suggest the one it recommends and the next size up I guess. Maybe if you start jumping bigger you’ll want a little heavier spring?

The shock comes from EXT with two springs, it’s not like they discount it if you only take one. My suggestion is to just pick two. EXT has a good spring calculator, try it out. I put an e-Storia on my bike and love it. https://www.extremeshox.com/spring-calculator/

You really want your mind blow swap out the XT calipers for some Magura MT5 calipers and use your XT levers with them. I have XTR 4-pistons and loved them but would still get some brake fade on big long runs. To the point where I couldn't stop , so I bought some Magura MT5 calipers and I'm blown...

more clearance when you’re over the back of the bike for riders with shorter inseams for starters. There’s also a noticeable different in handling at the back of the bike with a smaller 27.5 compared to a larger 29er rear wheel.

Just because a new bike is about to be officially announced any day now doesn't mean the dealers didn't know about it and they probably already place orders for the new bike last year when they did their yearly booking orders. There would have been an embargo so no one can talk about them. I...

I'm not sure about Specialized' batteries but Shimano's 504Wh battery is 2.9kg and the 630Wh is 3.4kg. So it would make sense that the 700Wh is 3.8kg.
