Featuring advanced Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on the frequency of bumps encountered, providing a smoother and more controlled ride in diverse riding conditions. The deflective disc valving enhances responsiveness and stability, ensuring optimal performance and comfort. An easily adjustable pre-load spring allows for quick customization without the need for special tools, making setup straightforward and efficient. The shocks include a progressive-rate spring and are high-pressure gas charged to maintain consistent damping performance over time, even under demanding riding scenarios. Built in the USA, these shocks are engineered to withstand rigorous use and offer reliable durability. Slightly longer than stock, they may alter your motorcycle's head angle and improve steering responsiveness, resulting in quicker handling. Conversely, shorter shocks can slow steering, so it is important to verify your wheel travel and clearance to prevent contact issues with components like the swingarm, exhaust, or tires before installation. These shocks are recommended for riders operating at or near maximum load capacity over 50% of the time, ensuring longevity and performance under heavy loads. Whether you're upgrading for improved comfort or enhanced handling, the Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock provides a high-quality, durable solution 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 superior ride quality\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDeflective disc valving: Enhances responsiveness and stability during riding\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePre-load spring: Easily adjustable by hand without special tools\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSpring: Progressive-rate design for smooth performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eGas-charged: Maintains consistent damping performance under demanding conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA: Ensuring quality and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: Slight length variations may influence steering and head angle; verify wheel travel and clearance before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty application: Suitable for bikes operating near maximum load for prolonged periods\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45966983889093,"sku":"444-4002C","price":860.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/7891\/4355\/files\/159608.png?v=1773697318","url":"https:\/\/btqllc.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-444-series-shock-13-inch-standard-heavy-duty-chrome-part-444-4002c","provider":"Bikes Trikes and Quads LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
