Featuring the innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping in real-time by sensing the frequency of bumps, ensuring a smoother and more controlled ride across various terrains. This advanced feature enhances comfort and handling by adapting to road conditions dynamically. Constructed with deflective disc valving, the shocks provide precise control and responsiveness, further improving ride quality and stability on heavy-duty applications.\u003cbr\u003eDesigned with user convenience in mind, these shocks include a hand-adjustable spring preload, allowing quick and easy customization without the need for special tools. The shocks are equipped with a progressive rate spring that offers a comfortable ride while maintaining robust support during aggressive riding or heavy loads. Being high-pressure gas charged, they deliver consistent performance, reducing fade and maintaining damping characteristics over extended use.\u003cbr\u003eDepending on your setup, choosing a shock that is slightly longer or shorter than stock can influence the steering geometry. A slightly longer shock may slightly alter the head angle, providing quicker steering response, while a slightly shorter shock can offer a more relaxed steering feel. It is recommended for riders to verify wheel travel and clearance conditions, especially when selecting shocks that differ from OEM lengths, to avoid issues with swingarm, exhaust, chain or belt guards, or tires. Heavy-duty applications are suggested for bikes operated near their maximum load capacity over half the time, ensuring durability and ride stability under demanding conditions.\u003cbr\u003eOverall, the Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock is a reliable upgrade for performance-oriented riders seeking durable, adjustable, and technologically advanced suspension components for their motorcycle or ATV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFrequency Sensing Technology (FST): Automatically adjusts damping based on bump frequency for superior ride quality\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDeflective disc valving: Provides precise damping control and responsiveness\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAdjustable spring preload: Easy manual adjustment without special tools\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProgressive rate spring: Offers smooth ride with robust support\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-pressure gas charged: Ensures consistent damping performance across various riding conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy-Duty Application Compatibility: Suitable for bikes operated near maximum load capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatibility considerations: verify wheel travel and clearance when selecting shocks different from OEM length\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45966979596485,"sku":"444-4246B","price":860.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/7891\/4355\/files\/160183.png?v=1773697060","url":"https:\/\/btqllc.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-444-series-shock-11-inch-heavy-duty-black-part-number-444-4246b","provider":"Bikes Trikes and Quads LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
