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.\u003cbr\u003eDesigned 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.\u003cbr\u003eDepending 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.\u003cbr\u003eBefore 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.\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: Provides responsive and stable shock performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAdjustable spring pre-load: Hand-turn dial allows easy customization without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProgressive rate spring: Ensures balanced support and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-pressure gas charged: Maintains consistent damping performance under demanding conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLength options: Slightly longer or shorter shocks can alter steering characteristics for customized handling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy Duty applications: Recommended for bikes operating near maximum load ratings for extended durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatibility considerations: Verify wheel travel and clearance to avoid contact issues during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50246012534977,"sku":"1310-1576","price":860.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0060\/5929\/4802\/files\/160180.png?v=1779214037","url":"https:\/\/teamdreamrides.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-444-series-shock-11-inch-standard-black-part-444-4245b-for-heavy-duty-applications","provider":"Team Dream Rides","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
