944 Series Shock - 13" - 12" Ride Height - Ultra Touring-QPS - Standard - Black/Gold

The Progressive Suspension 944 Series Shock with part number 944-4002UT-QPS offers an innovative solution for touring motorcycle riders seeking superior ride quality and adjustable suspension performance. Its unique ultra touring spring configuration provides the comfort and travel of a 13-inch shock while maintaining the sleek, lowered look of a 12-inch shock. This shock sits approximately 2 inches lower than a stock touring model, enhancing rider control and motorcycle aesthetics. Built around Progressive Suspension’s Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), the shock automatically adjusts damping based on bump frequency, delivering a smooth, controlled ride over varied terrain. The high-pressure gas-charged design ensures consistent performance, whether on long highway stretches or city streets. The shock features a custom lowered profile with a spring combination that optimizes ride height both when riding and parked, aiding in better handling and parking ease. Adjusting spring preload is straightforward and tool-free, allowing riders to fine-tune their setup quickly and easily. The QPS upgrade kit, compatible with 444 Series and 944 Series shocks, utilizes a sealed gear drive to smoothly modify preload without removing saddlebags or disassembling the shock, making ride adjustments seamless when transitioning between single and two-up riding configurations. Available in three configurations — standard (up to 250 lbs.), heavy-duty (250-350 lbs.), and super heavy-duty (over 350 lbs.) — these shocks are designed to accommodate a wide range of rider weights and load conditions. Made in the USA, the 944 Series Shock is ideal for touring riders who prioritize a combination of lowered profile, adjustable preload, and superior damping performance. Before installation, verify that your motorcycle’s wheel travel and clearance are adequate to prevent contact issues with exhaust systems, swingarm, or tires. Whether you're upgrading for better ride quality or customizing your bike’s stance, the Progressive Suspension 944 Series Shock offers reliable, high-performance suspension tailored for touring motorcycles.
