444 Series Shock - 11" - Standard - Black
The Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock with an 11-inch length is engineered to deliver superior ride quality and reliable performance for a variety of motorcycle applications. Featuring innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), this shock automatically adjusts damping based on the bump frequency, ensuring a smoother and more controlled ride across diverse terrains. The deflective disc valving system enhances shock responsiveness, providing excellent stability and comfort during both straight-line riding and cornering.
Designed for versatility, this shock includes a hand-adjustable spring pre-load, allowing easy customization without the need for special tools. The included progressive rate spring offers a balanced combination of comfort and support, making it suitable for applications requiring varying load capacities. The high-pressure gas charge ensures consistent performance under demanding conditions, maintaining damping characteristics over time.
Depending on your setup, a shock that is slightly longer than stock may result in a minor alteration of the head angle, potentially providing quicker steering response. Conversely, a slightly shorter shock might slightly slow steering. Heavy Duty applications are recommended for bikes operating at or near the maximum load rating over 50% of the time, ensuring enhanced durability and performance under heavier loads.
Before selecting a shock with a different length than OEM, confirm that your wheel travel can accommodate the change without causing clearance issues such as swingarm or axle contact with the exhaust, chain or belt guard, or tire interference. Proper installation and compatibility are crucial for optimal performance and safety, so verify your bike's specifications prior to purchase and installation.
