Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock - 12.5 Inch Standard Chrome 444-4038C for Motorcycles
Experience enhanced ride quality with the Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock, measuring 12.5 inches in length and finished in durable chrome. Designed specifically for motorcycle applications, this shock absorber features advanced Frequency Sensing Technology (FST) that detects the frequency of bumps and automatically adjusts damping for optimal comfort and stability. This innovative technology ensures a smooth ride across various terrains by providing superior shock absorption tailored to your riding conditions. The shock's deflective disc valving contributes to consistent performance, while the preload spring can be easily adjusted by hand without the need for special tools, allowing for quick customization based on rider weight or riding style. Included is a progressive-rate spring that offers a balanced ride, absorbing impacts progressively to enhance comfort and control, whether you're cruising or tackling rough terrain. Built with high-pressure gas charging, these shocks maintain consistent damping performance over time and under varying load conditions. Made in the USA, they are engineered to meet high standards of durability and quality. Slight variations in length—either longer or shorter than stock—may influence steering behavior by altering the head angle; longer shocks tend to offer quicker steering, while shorter ones can slow steering response. Before installation, verify that your bike's wheel travel can accommodate these shocks without clearance issues, especially concerning swingarm, axle, exhaust, chain/belt guards, or tires. Recommended for heavy-duty applications, these shocks excel when your motorcycle operates near or at maximum load ratings more than half the time, providing the reliability needed for demanding riding conditions.
