Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock - 13.5 Inch Heavy-Duty Black (Part #444-4073B)
The Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock with a 13.5-inch length offers advanced damping technology designed to enhance your motorcycle's ride quality and handling. Featuring the innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on the frequency of bumps encountered, providing a smooth and controlled ride across various terrains. The deflective disc valving ensures consistent performance and improved responsiveness while the pre-load spring is easily adjustable by hand, eliminating the need for special tools. Each shock includes a progressive-rate spring that adapts to riding conditions and high-pressure gas charging to maintain optimal performance over time.
Constructed in the USA, these shocks are tailored for heavy-duty applications, making them ideal for motorcycles operating near or at their maximum load capacity over 50% of the time. They are designed to slightly alter the front-end geometry, which can lead to quicker steering if the shocks are longer than stock, or slower steering if shorter. It is essential to verify that your wheel travel and clearance are compatible with non-OEM length shocks before installation to prevent potential contact issues with swingarms, exhaust systems, or tires. Proper installation ensures your motorcycle maintains optimal handling and stability for demanding riding conditions.
Engineered for durability and consistent performance, the Progressive Suspension 444 Series shocks are an excellent upgrade for riders seeking enhanced control, comfort, and reliability. Their robust design and innovative damping features make them suitable for various riding styles, especially when carrying heavy loads or tackling challenging terrains. Trust in the quality and American-made craftsmanship of these shocks to deliver a superior riding experience with long-lasting performance.
