Featuring the innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on the frequency of bumps encountered, delivering a smoother and more controlled ride. The deflective disc valving ensures precise damping characteristics, while the pre-load spring can be adjusted by hand without the need for special tools, allowing for quick customization to rider preference. Each shock includes a progressive-rate spring and is high-pressure gas charged to maintain consistent performance across different riding conditions.\u003cbr\u003eBuilt in the USA, these shocks are designed to accommodate a range of rider weights and riding styles. Slightly longer shocks may alter the head angle slightly, resulting in quicker steering, whereas slightly shorter shocks can provide a slower steering response. Before installation, it is important to verify that your motorcycle's wheel travel can be adjusted without causing clearance issues, such as contact with the swingarm, exhaust, chain or belt guard, or tires. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes operating at or near maximum load ratings over 50% of the time, ensuring durability and reliable performance under demanding conditions.\u003cbr\u003eConstructed with durability and ride quality in mind, the Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock offers a significant upgrade from stock components. Whether you're seeking improved handling, ride comfort, or load capacity, these shocks provide a reliable solution that can be tailored to your specific motorcycle and riding style.\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 performance\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: Maintains consistent performance in various conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProgressive-rate spring: Provides smoothness and support\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA: Quality manufacturing and reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOptional length variations: Slightly longer shocks for quicker steering or shorter for slower response\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty application suitability: Designed for bikes operating at high loads over extended periods\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45966983692485,"sku":"444-4036B","price":860.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/7891\/4355\/files\/159671.png?v=1773697270","url":"https:\/\/btqllc.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-444-series-shock-12-inch-standard-black-part-number-444-4036b","provider":"Bikes Trikes and Quads LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
