Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock - 12.5 Inch Heavy-Duty Black 444-4048B

Experience enhanced ride quality with the Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock, designed specifically for demanding applications. Featuring innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on the frequency of bumps encountered, ensuring a smoother and more controlled ride across various terrains. The deflective disc valving further enhances damping precision, providing stability and comfort during aggressive riding conditions. The pre-load spring can be adjusted manually without the need for special tools, allowing for quick customization based on rider weight and riding style. Each shock includes a progressive-rate spring and is high-pressure gas charged to maintain consistent performance over time. Built in the USA, these shocks are slightly longer than stock, which may influence the head angle and steering response, offering quicker handling. Conversely, shorter shocks can alter the steering feel towards slower response. Before installation, ensure your wheel travel can accommodate the shock length without causing clearance issues such as contact with the swingarm, exhaust, or chain/belt guard. These heavy-duty shocks are recommended for motorcycles operating at or near maximum load ratings over 50% of the time, providing durability and performance under demanding conditions. Whether upgrading for improved comfort or handling, the Progressive Suspension 444 Series shocks deliver reliable, high-performance results for serious riders.
