Progressive Suspension 944 Series Shock - 13-inch Length with 12-inch Ride Height for Ultra Touring - Model 944-4071UT-QPS

944 Series Shock - 13" - 12" Ride Height - Ultra Touring-QPS - Super Duty - Black/Gold

The Progressive Suspension 944 Series Shock, part number 944-4071UT-QPS, offers an exceptional combination of ride quality and lowered stance for touring motorcycles. Designed with the unique Ultra Low Series spring configuration, this shock provides the comfort and suspension travel of a 13-inch shock while maintaining a sleek 12-inch appearance, sitting 2 inches lower than standard touring shocks. This lowered profile enhances handling, control, and aesthetic appeal, especially at intersections and when parking, without sacrificing ride comfort. The shocks are built around Progressive Suspension’s Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), which automatically adjusts damping based on bump frequency, ensuring a smooth and stable ride across various road conditions. The high-pressure gas charge maintains consistent performance, and the shocks are designed for durability and reliability, with a black and gold finish that complements the aesthetic of touring bikes. Each configuration—standard, heavy-duty, and super heavy-duty—caters to different rider weights and load demands, with the super heavy-duty option suitable for bikes frequently carrying loads above the manufacturer’s recommended maximum. The shocks feature a sealed gear drive with a Quick preload System (QPS) upgrade kit, which allows effortless preload adjustments without removing saddlebags or using tools, enabling riders to switch between solo and two-up riding configurations seamlessly. The preload can be adjusted by hand, with progressive rate mainsprings specifically engineered for touring models, providing a tailored ride experience. It is important to verify that your motorcycle's wheel travel can accommodate these shocks without clearance issues, especially if considering shocks of different lengths. Made in the USA, these shocks are engineered for superior performance and longevity, designed to meet the rigorous demands of touring riders seeking lowered stance and enhanced ride quality.
