The first rear shock where you wished to have a better fork
The Intend Hover has now entered its 5th year. A long time since we presented the first prototype at the Bike Festival in Riva. Back then, it was still relatively crude to save milling costs.
Meanwhile, thanks to larger quantities and the further development, it has become a dynamically targeted, harmoniously appearing product.
Not only has the appearance changed, but above all, the internal components have been further developed to increase reliability while simultaneously reducing friction. We proudly present you the Hover Opt.
While retaining all of the previous features like the Fine Tune Dial which seperates the two air chambers or the Gamechanger Lockout - the Hover Opt shines with a variety of "optimizations", hence the name "Opt."
Other Intend bushings available (25€ per side) | High pressure shock pump included

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.
