Featuring the innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on the frequency of bumps encountered, providing a smoother and more controlled ride across various terrains. The deflective disc valving enhances damping precision, while a pre-load spring can be adjusted manually without special tools, allowing for quick customization to suit your riding needs.\u003cbr\u003eConstructed with a progressive-rate spring and high-pressure gas charging, the shocks deliver consistent performance under demanding conditions. Made in the USA, these shocks are designed to withstand rigorous use and are recommended for bikes operating at or near their maximum load capacity more than half the time. Their slightly longer or shorter length compared to stock may influence steering response and head angle, so it is essential to verify that wheel travel and clearance are maintained to prevent contact issues with swingarm, exhaust, or tires before installation.\u003cbr\u003eThe Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock offers a reliable upgrade for riders seeking enhanced ride quality, control, and durability. Whether for daily riding or heavy-duty use, these shocks are built to meet high-performance standards and ensure a smooth, responsive ride in demanding 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: Provides precise damping control\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePre-load spring: Easily adjustable by hand without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-pressure gas charged: Ensures consistent performance under load\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProgressive-rate spring: Delivers smooth ride and stability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA: Quality craftsmanship and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatible with various lengths: Slightly longer or shorter than stock to alter steering characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty application suitability: Ideal for bikes operating near maximum load capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45966983233733,"sku":"444-4048C","price":860.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/7891\/4355\/files\/159701.png?v=1773697208","url":"https:\/\/btqllc.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-444-series-shock-12-5-inch-heavy-duty-chrome-part-444-4048c","provider":"Bikes Trikes and Quads LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
