This innovative feature ensures optimal performance across a variety of terrains by dynamically responding to road conditions, providing enhanced comfort and control. The shock incorporates deflective disc valving, which improves damping consistency and responsiveness, contributing to a more stable ride. The pre-load spring can be adjusted manually without special tools, allowing for easy customization to suit your riding preferences and load requirements. Equipped with a progressive-rate spring and high-pressure gas charge, this shock maintains consistent performance under heavy loads and demanding conditions. Made in the USA, the PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION 444 Series Shock is engineered for durability and reliability. Please note that shocks slightly longer than stock may alter the head angle and result in quicker steering, while shorter shocks may slow steering response. Before installation, verify your wheel travel compatibility to prevent clearance issues such as swingarm or axle contact with exhaust or chain\/belt guards. These shocks are recommended for heavy-duty applications, especially for motorcycles operating at or near maximum load capacity over 50% of the time. Whether you seek improved handling or enhanced comfort for demanding rides, the PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION 444 Series Shock offers a high-performance upgrade for your motorcycle.\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 smoother ride quality\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDeflective disc valving: Improves damping consistency and responsiveness\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePre-load spring: Adjustable by hand without special tools for easy customization\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSpring: Progressive-rate design for better load handling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eGas charged: High-pressure gas ensures consistent performance under heavy loads\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA: Engineered for durability and reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLength considerations: Slightly longer shocks may alter head angle and steering; shorter shocks may slow steering\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eInstallation notes: Confirm wheel travel can be adjusted without clearance issues before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eApplication: Recommended for heavy-duty use, especially under maximum load conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45966983200965,"sku":"444-4049B","price":860.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/7891\/4355\/files\/159704.png?v=1773697200","url":"https:\/\/btqllc.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-444-series-shock-12-inch-standard-black-part-444-4049b-by-progressive-suspension","provider":"Bikes Trikes and Quads LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
