Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock - 13.5 inches - Standard Black 444-4074B

444 Series Shock - 13.5" - Standard - Black

The Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock Absorber, part number 444-4074B, is designed to enhance your motorcycle's ride quality with advanced technology and durable construction. Featuring the all-new Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), this shock can automatically detect the frequency of bumps and adjust damping accordingly to deliver a smoother, more controlled ride. This intelligent feature ensures optimal performance whether you're cruising on highways or navigating rough terrain.
Constructed with deflective disc valving, the shock provides consistent damping across a wide range of conditions, contributing to improved stability and handling. The pre-load spring can be easily adjusted by hand without any special tools, allowing quick customization to match rider weight and riding style. Additionally, the shock includes a progressive-rate spring and is high-pressure gas charged, ensuring consistent performance and durability over time. Made in the USA, this shock is built to meet the demanding needs of motorcycle enthusiasts and heavy-duty applications.
It's important to note that shocks slightly longer than stock may slightly alter the head angle, potentially resulting in quicker steering, while shorter shocks may slow steering response. Before installing shocks that differ from OEM length, verify that your wheel travel can accommodate these changes without clearance issues such as swingarm or axle contact with exhaust components, chain or belt guards, or tires. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes operating at or near maximum load ratings over 50% of the time, ensuring longevity and reliable performance under challenging conditions.
