Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock - 11.5-Inch Standard Chrome | Part 444-4059C

444 Series Shock - 11.5" - Standard - Chrome

The Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock with an 11.5-inch length offers advanced features designed to enhance your motorcycle's ride quality and handling. Equipped with the innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping by sensing bump frequency, providing a smoother and more controlled ride across various terrains. The deflective disc valving ensures precise damping control, contributing to improved stability and comfort during every ride. The shocks include a pre-load spring that can be adjusted by hand without the need for special tools, allowing for quick customization to match rider preferences and load conditions. Each shock is fitted with a progressive-rate spring and is high-pressure gas charged, ensuring consistent performance and durability even under demanding riding conditions. Made in the USA, these shocks are engineered for quality and longevity, making them suitable for both casual and heavy-duty applications. Shocks slightly longer than stock may alter the head angle slightly, resulting in quicker steering, while shorter shocks can slow steering response. It is important to verify your wheel travel and clearance before installation, especially if selecting shocks that differ from OEM length, to prevent contact issues with swingarm, exhaust, chain or belt guard, and tires. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes operating near or at maximum load ratings more than half the time, ensuring optimal performance and safety under demanding conditions.
