444 Series Shock - 11.5" - Standard - Black

Upgrade your motorcycle's ride quality with the Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock, designed for optimal performance and durability. This shock absorber features the innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), which allows it to detect the frequency of bumps and automatically adjust damping for a smoother, more controlled ride across various terrains. The deflective disc valving enhances responsiveness by providing precise control over shock movement, contributing to improved handling and comfort. The pre-load spring is easily adjustable by hand, eliminating the need for special tools, making setup quick and straightforward. Included with the shock is a progressive-rate spring, which ensures consistent performance under different riding conditions, and the high-pressure gas charge maintains stability and responsiveness over time. Manufactured in the USA, this shock is slightly longer than stock models, which may alter the head angle and provide quicker steering, or slightly shorter for a different handling feel. Before installation, verify that your wheel travel can accommodate the change without clearance issues, especially around swingarm, axle, exhaust, chain or belt guards, and tires. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes frequently operating at or near maximum load capacity, over 50% of the time, ensuring longevity and dependable performance.
