Featuring the innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on bump frequency, providing a smoother and more controlled ride across a variety of terrains. The deflective disc valving ensures consistent damping performance, while the preload spring can be easily adjusted by hand without any special tools, allowing for quick customization to your riding preferences. Each shock includes a progressive-rate spring and is high-pressure gas charged, ensuring reliable performance under demanding conditions.\u003cbr\u003eMade in the USA, these shocks are slightly longer than stock, which can subtly alter the head angle and improve steering responsiveness. Conversely, shorter shocks may slow steering and modify handling characteristics. Before installation, verify that your wheel travel can accommodate length changes without causing clearance issues such as swingarm or axle contact with exhaust components, or interference with chain or belt guards and tires. These shocks are recommended for heavy-duty applications, especially for bikes operating at or near maximum load capacity over 50% of the time, providing the durability and performance needed 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 consistent damping performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePreload spring: Easily adjustable by hand without special tools\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-pressure gas charged: Provides reliable, consistent performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes progressive-rate spring: Offers improved ride comfort and control\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA: Ensuring quality and craftsmanship\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLength options: Slightly longer or shorter than stock for customized handling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty design: Suitable for bikes operating near maximum load capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45966983397573,"sku":"444-4044C","price":781.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/7891\/4355\/files\/159694.png?v=1773697227","url":"https:\/\/btqllc.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-444-series-shock-12-inch-heavy-duty-chrome-part-444-4044c","provider":"Bikes Trikes and Quads LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
