Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock - 12 inch, Chrome - Model 444-4049C by Progressive Suspension

Upgrade your motorcycle's ride quality with the Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock, designed with advanced features for superior performance. Featuring Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on bump frequency, providing a smoother and more controlled ride across various terrains. The deflective disc valving enhances damping precision, contributing to stability and comfort during both acceleration and cornering. The pre-load spring can be easily adjusted by hand without the need for special tools, allowing for quick customization to rider weight and riding conditions. Constructed with a progressive-rate spring and high-pressure gas charging, these shocks deliver consistent performance and durability over time.

Made in the USA, the 444 Series shocks are slightly longer than stock, which may alter the head angle and result in quicker steering response, ideal for riders seeking enhanced maneuverability. Conversely, shorter versions are available that can slow steering for a different handling feel, but it’s important to verify that any change in length does not interfere with clearance issues such as swingarm, axle, exhaust, chain, belt guard, or tire contact. These shocks are recommended for heavy-duty applications, especially for bikes operating near maximum load ratings over 50% of the time, ensuring they can handle demanding riding conditions with reliability. Proper installation and compatibility checks are essential to maintain optimal performance and safety, making the Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock a versatile upgrade for serious riders seeking improved handling and ride comfort.
