Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock - 12 Inch Standard Black (Part #444-4036B)

The Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock is engineered to improve ride quality and handling performance for a variety of motorcycles. Featuring the innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on the frequency of bumps encountered, ensuring a smoother ride across different terrains. The shocks incorporate deflective disc valving for precise damping control, providing stability and comfort during aggressive riding or long-distance cruising. The pre-load spring can be easily adjusted by hand without the need for special tools, allowing riders to fine-tune suspension settings to match their load and riding style. Equipped with a progressive-rate spring and high-pressure gas charging, these shocks deliver consistent performance and durability, making them suitable for demanding riding conditions.
