Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock - 11.5 Inch Standard Black - Part 444-4059B

The Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock with an 11.5-inch length offers advanced damping technology designed to enhance your motorcycle's ride quality. Featuring the innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on the frequency of bumps encountered, providing a smoother and more controlled ride across varied terrains. The deflective disc valving ensures precise and consistent damping performance, contributing to improved handling and stability. A pre-load spring that adjusts by hand allows for quick customization without the need for special tools, making setup straightforward and user-friendly. Included are progressive-rate springs that deliver a responsive ride, while the high-pressure gas charge maintains consistent performance under different loads and conditions.

Constructed in the USA, these shocks are engineered for durability and reliable performance. They are slightly longer than stock shocks, which may alter the head angle and result in quicker steering, or slightly shorter, potentially providing slower steering characteristics. Before installation, it is crucial to verify that your wheel travel can be adjusted without causing clearance issues such as contact with the exhaust, chain or belt guard, or tires. These shocks are recommended for heavy-duty applications, especially for bikes frequently operating at or near maximum load capacity, ensuring they can handle demanding riding conditions with confidence.
