Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock - 12 inch Standard Black by PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION (Part #444-4036B)

444 Series Shock - 12" - Standard - Black

The Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock absorber is engineered for superior ride quality and durability, featuring innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST) that automatically adjusts damping based on bump frequency. This advanced technology ensures a smoother ride by responding dynamically to road conditions. Constructed with deflective disc valving, the shock provides consistent damping performance across a range of terrains, enhancing motorcycle stability and handling. The pre-load spring is adjustable by hand, requiring no special tools, allowing riders to fine-tune suspension settings quickly and easily for personalized comfort and control.
Made in the USA, these shocks include a progressive-rate spring designed to deliver a balanced ride, whether absorbing minor bumps or handling more significant impacts. They are high-pressure gas charged to maintain performance consistency over time, ensuring reliability on both daily commutes and long-distance rides. Slight variations in length—whether longer or shorter than stock—may influence steering characteristics by altering head angle, so it's important to verify compatibility with your motorcycle’s wheel travel to prevent clearance issues such as contact with the exhaust, chain or belt guard, or tires. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes frequently operating near maximum load capacity, typically over 50%, to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
Designed for easy installation and reliable operation, the 444 Series Shock is suitable for riders seeking to upgrade their suspension system with a high-performance, durable component that enhances ride quality and handling. Whether replacing worn-out shocks or customizing your motorcycle’s suspension, this product offers a significant upgrade in ride comfort and stability, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts and daily riders alike.
