This shock absorber features innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), which detects the frequency of bumps and automatically adjusts damping for optimal comfort and handling. The result is a smoother ride across uneven terrain, reducing rider fatigue and enhancing overall stability. Constructed with deflective disc valving, this shock ensures precise damping control, contributing to consistent performance under various riding conditions. The pre-load spring can be adjusted manually without any special tools, allowing riders to fine-tune the suspension easily for different loads and riding styles. Additionally, it includes a progressive-rate spring that provides a comfortable ride while maintaining support during heavy loads or aggressive riding. The shocks are high-pressure gas charged, which helps maintain consistent damping characteristics and longevity, even under demanding conditions. Made in the USA, the Progressive Suspension 444 Series shocks are slightly longer than stock models, which can subtly alter your bike’s head angle and improve steering response, or slightly shorter to slow steering and adjust handling as needed. Before installing shocks that differ from OEM length, verify your wheel travel to prevent clearance issues such as contact with the exhaust, chain or belt guards, or tires. These shocks are recommended for bikes operating at or near maximum load ratings more than half the time, making them ideal for riders who demand durability and performance from their suspension system. Whether you're looking to enhance ride quality, improve handling, or support heavy loads, these shocks offer a reliable upgrade for your motorcycle, combining advanced technology with robust construction for demanding riding conditions.\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: Ensures precise damping control for consistent performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePre-load spring adjustment: Manual, tool-free for easy customization\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProgressive-rate spring: Provides comfort and support under load\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-pressure gas charged: Maintains damping consistency and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA: Quality assurance and craftsmanship\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLength options: Slightly longer or shorter than stock to improve handling and steering response\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLoad capacity: Suitable for heavy-duty applications and maximum load conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45966983790789,"sku":"444-4019C","price":860.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/7891\/4355\/files\/159655.png?v=1773697292","url":"https:\/\/btqllc.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-444-series-shock-12-5-inch-heavy-duty-chrome-part-444-4019c","provider":"Bikes Trikes and Quads LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
