Progressive Suspension 944 Series Ultra Low Shock for Touring Bikes - 12.5 Inches - Black/Gold, Part #944-4001UL-QPS

944 Series Shock - 12.5" - 11" Ride Height - Ultra Low-QPS - Standard - Black/Gold

The Progressive Suspension 944 Series Ultra Low Shock offers a unique blend of ride quality and lowered stance, designed specifically for touring motorcycles seeking a custom look without sacrificing performance. Featuring a 13-inch shock configuration with a custom lowered appearance of 12 inches, these shocks provide a 2-inch drop compared to standard touring shocks, enhancing handling and rider control. Built around Progressive Suspension’s Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), they automatically adjust damping based on bump frequency, resulting in a smoother and more controlled ride across various road conditions.
The 944 FST Ultra Touring shocks are available in three configurations—Standard (up to 250 lbs.), Heavy-duty (250 to 350 lbs.), and Super heavy-duty (over 350 lbs.)—to accommodate different rider weights and load requirements. The unique spring combination maintains an optimal rider height whether the motorcycle is on the side stand or ridden, offering improved control during parking and at intersections. These shocks are equipped with a sealed gear drive for easy preload adjustments without tools, allowing riders to fine-tune their suspension quickly when switching from solo to two-up riding or back.
Constructed with high-pressure gas-charged mainsprings, the shocks deliver consistent performance and durability, essential for long-distance touring. The preload can be manually adjusted by hand, simplifying setup and customization. Designed in the USA, these shocks are compatible with most touring models; however, it is important to verify wheel travel and clearance to avoid contact issues with exhaust, chain/belt guards, or tires before installation. The Super heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes operating above the maximum load rating for extended periods, ensuring reliability under demanding conditions. Overall, the Progressive Suspension 944 Series Ultra Low shocks are an excellent choice for riders seeking a lowered profile without compromising ride quality or adjustability, making them ideal for enhanced control and comfort on touring bikes.
