iceman2058 Added a new video ALL MIXED UP | Eddie Reynolds
1/27/2026 4:18am
"All mixed up”. Exactly how it sounds. Jimmy Astleford and I started filming clips in 2023 with no particular goal in mind. After a couple street missions here and there we figured we could probably make something sick. I wanted to make a mostly street vid, but not just a street part on a mountain bike. I wanted to find spots that I wouldn’t touch on a BMX bike. After a while we had just started stacking so many random clips and a lot of not street clips, and that’s how “All Mixed Up” came about. A couple years, and...

Maybe we should have said "relatively" affordable, but still, compared to EXT's own high-end shocks and others on the market, the price is very competitive for the features and performance you get here. Hence "affordable excellence" was the headline.

We kinda alluded to it in several aspects, but yeah, we didn't have them available in the same dimensions to be able to compare them directly. In short, we'd say that the changes implemented when the Storia went from V3 to V4 have all found their way into the Vecta as well, just with less onerous materials and simplified HBC and top-out solutions. We did test the Storia V4 on a very linear bike where it performed admirably (review is linked here), so chances are the Vecta would do well in that situation as well.

My experience with the ext ARMA mirrors this article. It’s been absolutely excellent, head and shoulders above the dhx2 it replaced. Great to hear the Vecta performs at a similar level but a couple hundred cheaper.
