Intend Rover Shock, Adding a Coil Where It Seemed Missing, To Create a Coil/Air Hybrid

"The Rover is a unique air/coil hybrid shock that becomes part of Intend's Blackline, combining the advantages of an air shock with those of a coil."

"Intend views the Rover as more of a Hover-variant that incorporates an air spring system with self-balancing positive and negative chambers."

"The addition of a coil spring to the Rover is intended to provide significant improvement for riders searching for a touch more sensitivity."

"The progresivity of an air shock helps prevent bottom-outs and is easily tunable, while the coil offers a more linear, sensitive experience."

The Intend Rover is a new hybrid shock that combines air and coil technologies, addressing mountain bikers' needs for improved sensitivity and performance. It builds on the Hover Monocoque air shock, which faced questions about its design. The Rover offers the advantages of both air shocks, such as progressivity and adjustability, and coil shocks, providing a more linear experience. This design allows for independent adjustments, enhancing the overall riding experience while maintaining the core principles of the Hover shock.
