December 17, 2025
A group of private strategic investors led by former Crankbrothers CEO Gaspare Licata has acquired a majority stake in Extreme Racing Shox (EXT), Italian manufacturer of high-performance suspension systems for bicycle and motorsports applications.
The move follows the passing of EXT founder and technical director Franco Fratton in April 2025. Under Fratton’s guidance, EXT built its reputation on meticulous engineering and elite-level performance. Former owner Katia Persico determined that new investment and an experienced leadership team were vital to secure the company’s future. CYCLING INDUSTRY
