Featuring the innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on bump frequency, providing a smoother ride over varied terrain. The deflective disc valving ensures precise control and consistent performance, making it suitable for both everyday riding and demanding conditions. Easy to adjust preload with no tools required allows for quick customization to suit rider preferences and load conditions. The included progressive-rate spring and high-pressure gas charge deliver reliable performance under a range of loads and riding styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured in the USA, these shocks are slightly longer than stock, which can influence head angle and steering response, potentially offering quicker turn-in. Conversely, shorter shocks may result in a different steering feel, providing slower response. Before installation, verify that your wheel travel and clearance are compatible to avoid issues with swingarm, exhaust, chain or belt guards, and tires. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes frequently operating near maximum load, ensuring durability and sustained performance. Whether upgrading for better ride comfort or handling, the Progressive Suspension 444 Series shocks are a robust choice for riders seeking quality and reliability in a chrome finish.\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 control and consistent 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\u003eProgressive-rate spring: Offers reliable support across various loads\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eGas-charged: Ensures consistent damping performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA: High-quality manufacturing standards\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLength variations: Slightly longer or shorter shocks can alter steering response and head angle\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatibility considerations: Verify wheel travel and clearance before installation for optimal fit\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty applications: Recommended for bikes operating near maximum load capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45966983856325,"sku":"444-4003C","price":860.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/7891\/4355\/files\/159613.png?v=1773697308","url":"https:\/\/btqllc.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-444-series-shock-13-5-standard-heavy-duty-chrome-part-444-4003c","provider":"Bikes Trikes and Quads LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
