“Coil-like performance” is often advertised but rarely achieved when it comes to air spring rear shocks - The Intend Hover Gamechanger lives up to this claim!
The project started on a blank page as the goal was to do things differently. Intend Hover Gamechanger shocks are designed around a separated damping and air spring assembly to keep heat management in check. The negative air chamber is way larger compared to more traditional designs and set up to a slightly higher pressure to improve suppleness.
A port between both air chambers allows fine adjustments instead of using a common bleed valve. A linear spring curve is made possible by using increased air volume. Ramp-up is also tuneable by using volume reducers that are changed in a matter of minutes. Feedback from team riders inspired us to add a lockout mechanism.
A flip lever makes it possible to completely lock the damper and gives you a hardtail-like feel. A pretty awesome feature if local trails are only accessible by gruelling fire road climbs.
Make sure the surface of your Hover shock is cleaned properly. We suggest brake cleaner or isopropyl.
Carefully peel off adhesive of the first piece
Place the Refrigerator in an angle as shown in the picture. Make sure the inner edge of the Refrigerator is aligned with the ledge on the black counterpart of the shock (red circle) while pressing the Refrigerator against the surface
Edge of refrigerator should be on the center line
Repeat for second piece
FAQ
Can I have this shock with black tubes ?
This is not possible
Can I mount this shock on frames with shockyokes ?
Yes, the Hover shock has normal 15,08mm shock eyes, same like Fox and Rock Shox
Does this shock has a lockout ?
Yes, there is a Lever called Gamechanger, which stiffens your rear wheel 100%, providing best pedal plattform and does not soak any energy out of your legs.
Can I change the length of the shock later or the Gamechanger feature later ?
Unfortunately we cannot offer swap or chaning of the parts after purchase. The reason is simple: if we make it to cheap, we would end up in building, rebuilding, exchanging used shocks over and over, to give a second hand buyer the possibility for a cheap shock. If we make it to expensive, people think we are crazy and greedy. We want to earn money with selling shocks.
Can I change the setup of the damping later, to suit to other frames ?
Yes, this service is provided for 80€
Can I ride downhill with this shock?
Yes, there is no limit for the intended use
Is my length offered?
Here is a list of offered length, all shocks can be fittet with the travel reduction spacers to achieve e.g. 57,5, 60 or 62,5mm out of the original 45/55/65/75mm stroke. The progression does not get increased with adding this spacer.
