Featuring the innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on bump frequency, delivering a smoother and more controlled ride regardless of terrain. The inclusion of deflective disc valving ensures precise control of shock movement, optimizing comfort and handling in various riding conditions. \u003cbr\u003eConstructed with a pre-load spring that can be adjusted manually without special tools, these shocks allow for quick customization to suit rider preferences and load requirements. They come equipped with a progressive-rate spring that adapts to different driving styles and loads, and are high-pressure gas charged for consistent performance over time. Made in the USA, these shocks are built with quality materials to withstand demanding riding environments. \u003cbr\u003eDesigned slightly longer than stock, they may alter the front head angle and provide quicker steering, while shorter versions can modify steering response as well. Before installing, confirm your wheel travel and clearance to avoid contact issues with components such as the swingarm, exhaust, chain or belt guards, or tires. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes operating near maximum load ratings over 50% of the time, ensuring durability and performance under demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFrequency Sensing Technology (FST): Automatically adjusts damping based on bump frequency for superior ride quality\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDeflective disc valving: Ensures precise shock control for enhanced handling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePre-load spring: Easily adjustable by hand without special tools\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProgressive-rate spring: Adapts to varying loads and riding styles\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-pressure gas charged: Maintains consistent performance over time\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA: Built for quality and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAlters steering response: Slightly longer shocks may provide quicker steering, while shorter shocks may slow steering\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatibility considerations: Ensure clearance and wheel travel before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty application suitable: Ideal for bikes operating at or near maximum load ratings\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50246038290625,"sku":"1310-0768","price":860.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0060\/5929\/4802\/files\/159662.png?v=1779214877","url":"https:\/\/teamdreamrides.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-444-series-heavy-duty-shock-absorber-13-chrome-part-444-4020c","provider":"Team Dream Rides","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
