Continuing to refine the already best in class, the ERA V2.1 fork uses our HS3, hybrid air spring. Two positive air chambers work with one, high volume self activating negative air chamber. Combined with a high-volume damper cartridge this system offers incredible tuning capability and sets a new level for support in a suspension fork. The Era V2.1 introduces features and upgrades that aims to improve the experience, safety and performance of its' predecessors. 

At its core the Era V2.1 has the same configuration that made Era famous and appreciated: HS3 system, robust anti-creak crown, phenomenal mid stroke support,  excellent stiffness and performance.

The Era V2.1 fork features a magnesium lower design that makes them lighter and load-optimized and it’s made possible by utilizing a specific production process called Thixomolding.

WHAT'S NEW

  • Increase in negative chamber volume of HS3 Spring system for improved small bump and top out characteristics. 
  • New DU Bushing Material for improved small bump and reduced dynamic friction.
  • Expanded damper tune options to dial in the perfect ride for every level and type of rider. 

CORE FEATURES

  • Magnesium lowers that are lighter and utilize a new load-optimized design obtained by Thixomolding process.
  • NEW Bushing design. The new “RLP” radial lubrification pocket system consists in a new dedicated DU design with small pockets in the inner part of the bushing that traps some of the oil flowing and keeps the stanchion lubricated even under heavy load friction. There are also 3 specifically designed backup channels that improves pump lubrication effect.
  • NEW Floating Axle. Decoupling between hub dimension and fork alignment for an improved sensitivity of the fork.
  • NEW HS3, Hybrid coil and air spring design: Improved from V1 to increase reliability and smoothness even in harsh riding conditions. with 2 adjustable positive air chambers and high volume negative chamber
  • NEW Top out Bumper design. Added a top up bump rubber and a titanium
    plate to the ++ chamber to reduce noise.
  • Proprietary Crown design: forged AL 7050 T6 to substantially increase stiffness
  • High volume Cartridge with Ø22 mm piston, engineered circuit to separate bump and rebound oil flow
  • HDRV unique compression valve system Ø24 mm piston
  • IFP reservoir Ø24 mm piston
  • 3 way adjustable, Low and High speed Bump and Rebound
  • Main strut low friction system: new DU bushing material from our WRC technology combined with dedicated EXT oil
  • Cartridge and Air spring low friction System: innovative floating shaft guide combined with the EXT proprietary coating and superfinish chrome shaft.
  • Weight: 2250 g (29” 170 mm with uncut steer tube, axle and lube)

AVAILABLE WHEEL SIZE/OFFSET

  • 29 inch
  • Offset: 44 mm

Note: For Onyx hubs utilizing torque caps an adaptor is required. Please specify if you need this in the notes. 

Product Features

Improvements are addressed to increase sensitivity, smoothness, lubrication and safety like the improved end-stroke devices for the HS3 system, the top up bump rubber and titanium plate that reduces noise on ++ chamber or the new DU design that grants better lubrication.

HS3 is focused on mid-stroke support around the dynamic sag position while offering amazing sensitivity and bottom out protection. The air spring is complemented by an integrated coil spring to create a frictionless transition to sliding movement of the air shaft and a highly responsive fork giving the best grip to the front wheel/tire.

We looked at everything that needed a low friction solution to improve smoothness and sensitivity, that took us to our motorsport heritage:
Developed though our research and development program for World Rally Championship our new DU bushing material used in the magnesium Lower are sized to a defined tolerances for each fork assembly and works in harmony with our dedicated EXT oil and guarantees zero stiction and super low dynamic friction properties even when combined with high side loads. ERA V2.1 adopts an innovative Floating internal shaft guide in the damper cartridge using a Superfinish shaft to minimize friction to the lowest possible level.
EXT high-volume cartridge uses a high flow piston to generate control for your bike, the ERA V2 .1 is the ultimate performance upgrade for your bike and your riding. Like all EXT products the ERA V2 offers a fully tunable fork with a useable damping range for each rider and riding style.

Our new cartridge also introduces a new Bump valve design (HDRV – High Dynamic Response Valve) with 2 different shim stack for mid and high speed and an internal Floating Piston guided piston combined with a bespoke thrust bearing to enhance fast response and guidance.

For Onyx hubs utilizing torque caps an adaptor is required. We have these available. Please specify if you need this in the notes section when ordering.
