Progressive Suspension 444 Series Heavy-Duty Shock Absorber - 12.5 Inches - Black, Part #444-4019B
Upgrade your motorcycle's ride quality with the Progressive Suspension 444 Series shock absorber, designed for heavy-duty applications. This high-performance shock features advanced Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), which detects the frequency of bumps and automatically adjusts damping for a smoother, more controlled ride. Whether you're navigating rough terrain or city streets, this technology ensures optimal comfort and stability. The shock includes deflective disc valving that provides precise damping control, contributing to improved handling and ride consistency over diverse conditions. A pre-load spring, adjustable by hand without any special tools, allows quick customization to your load requirements, making it suitable for varying rider weights and gear loads. The shock is equipped with a progressive-rate spring, which offers a comfortable ride during normal conditions while providing additional support during more aggressive riding or heavy loads. It is also high-pressure gas charged, ensuring consistent performance and durability over time. Made in the USA, this shock absorber is built with quality craftsmanship and reliable materials, ensuring long-lasting performance. Please note, shocks that are slightly longer than stock may alter the head angle slightly and improve steering responsiveness, while shorter shocks could slow steering. Before installation, verify that your wheel travel can be adjusted without causing clearance issues, such as contact between the swingarm or axle with exhaust components, chain or belt guards, or tires. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes operating near or at maximum load ratings over 50% of the time, providing extra durability and support for demanding riding conditions.
