Absolutely. I was on a Patrol with the Storia v3 for two years when I was riding in the southern sierra area and smashing chunky trails was incredible with that setup. Back in Santa Cruz now and jumped on the downcountry bandwagon with a Tallboy 4. I’ll be on the lookout for the new ext air shock.
Regarding the above pictured shock, problem is Intend Bikes stated they are only shipping inside of Germany right now as they don't have an international shipper setup. They told me it should be mid-March for any of their stuff as I was interested in their headset and stem. They have some incredible products....but again...very pricey. Then again, so is EXT.
That fork pictured runs $1900 usd not including shipping. Rear shock is $1200 usd without shipping. FYI
