Featuring an ultra touring spring configuration, this shock provides the smooth ride and extensive suspension travel of a 13-inch shock while maintaining a custom lowered look of approximately 12 inches. The Ultra Low Series design sits 2 inches lower than stock touring shocks, enhancing control and handling during maneuvering and parking. Built with Progressive Suspension’s Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on bump frequency, resulting in a superior, comfortable ride across varying road conditions. The shocks are available in three configurations—standard, heavy-duty, and super heavy-duty—catering to different rider weights and load demands. The heavy-duty option supports riding with loads up to 350 pounds, making it suitable for touring enthusiasts with heavier gear or passenger loads. A significant advantage of the 944 Series shocks is the ease of preload adjustment via a simple hand-turn mechanism, eliminating the need for special tools. The QPS upgrade kit enhances convenience further by allowing preload adjustments without removing saddlebags, simplifying transitions between solo and two-up riding. The shock incorporates a sealed gear drive for smooth preload changes and features a progressive rate mainspring designed specifically for touring models. High-pressure gas charging ensures consistent performance over time, maintaining optimal damping and ride quality. Constructed in the USA, these shocks are engineered for durability and performance, with recommendations to verify clearance and wheel travel before installation, especially when selecting different lengths than OEM. The combination of lowered rider height, adjustable preload, and advanced damping technology make the Progressive Suspension 944 Series Shock an ideal upgrade for touring riders seeking improved control, comfort, and a customized look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eUnique ultra touring spring configuration provides superb ride quality and suspension travel of a 13-inch shock with a lowered look of 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eUltra Low Series design sits 2 inches lower than stock touring shocks for enhanced control\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFrequency Sensing Technology (FST) automatically adjusts damping for superior ride comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAvailable in standard, heavy-duty, and super heavy-duty configurations to accommodate different rider weights and loads\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eQPS upgrade kit allows preload adjustments without removing saddlebags, simplifying ride configuration changes\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSealed gear drive for smooth preload adjustments\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAdjust spring preload by hand without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProgressive rate mainsprings specifically designed for touring models\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-pressure gas charged for consistent and reliable performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA with durable construction\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50007766040816,"sku":"13102502","price":1209.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/1980\/5424\/files\/5561838.png?v=1783695552","url":"https:\/\/sublimepowersports.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-944-series-shock-13-inch-to-12-inch-ride-height-ultra-touring-with-qps-upgrade-heavy-duty-black-gold-944-4020ut-qps","provider":"Sublime Powersports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
