Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock — 12.5 Inch, Black, Standard (Part #444-4038B)

Upgrade your motorcycle's ride quality with the Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock, designed to deliver superior comfort and handling. Featuring advanced Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on the bump frequency, providing a smoother ride over uneven terrain. The deflective disc valving enhances shock response and durability, ensuring consistent performance across various riding conditions. The pre-load spring is adjustable by hand without requiring special tools, allowing for quick and easy customization to match rider weight and riding style. These shocks are equipped with a progressive-rate spring and are high-pressure gas charged, offering reliable support and damping characteristics for both everyday riding and heavy-duty applications. Proudly made in the USA, the 444 Series shocks are slightly longer or shorter than stock, which may influence steering response and head angle. It is important to verify that your wheel travel can accommodate these length variations without causing clearance issues such as swingarm or chain contact. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes frequently operating at or near maximum load ratings, ensuring durability and stability under demanding conditions.
