Featuring innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on the frequency of bumps encountered, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride in various riding conditions. The deflective disc valving enhances damping precision, contributing to improved handling and stability. Designed with user convenience in mind, the preload spring can be easily adjusted by hand without the need for special tools, allowing for quick customization to rider preferences and load conditions. Equipped with a progressive-rate spring and high-pressure gas charging, these shocks deliver consistent performance over a wide range of riding scenarios, from light cruising to heavy-duty applications. Made in the USA, the shocks are built with quality materials to withstand demanding use and ensure longevity. Please note that shocks slightly longer than stock may alter the head angle slightly, resulting in quicker steering, while shorter shocks may slow steering response. It is essential to verify that your wheel travel can accommodate length modifications without causing clearance issues such as swingarm or axle contact with exhaust components, chain or belt guards, or tires. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes frequently operating at or near maximum load ratings exceeding 50% of the time, ensuring optimal performance and safety during demanding rides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFrequency Sensing Technology (FST) automatically adjusts damping for superior ride quality\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDeflective disc valving enhances damping precision and handling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePreload spring is adjustable by hand without special tools\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes a progressive-rate spring for smooth compression and rebound\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-pressure gas charged for consistent performance across various conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA for quality assurance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSlightly longer shocks may alter head angle and provide quicker steering\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSlightly shorter shocks may alter head angle and provide slower steering\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEnsure wheel travel compatibility before installation to avoid clearance issues\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty applications recommended for bikes operating near maximum load for extended periods\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45966983168197,"sku":"444-4049C","price":860.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/7891\/4355\/files\/159708.png?v=1773697192","url":"https:\/\/btqllc.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-444-series-shock-12-inch-standard-chrome-part-444-4049c","provider":"Bikes Trikes and Quads LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
