Featuring the innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on bump frequency, ensuring a smoother ride across various terrains. The deflective disc valving system provides consistent shock performance, reducing rider fatigue and improving stability. Equipped with a pre-load spring that can be adjusted by hand without special tools, these shocks offer customizable comfort to suit your riding preferences. The inclusion of a progressive-rate spring and high-pressure gas charge ensures durability and consistent performance even under demanding conditions. Made in the USA, these shocks are slightly longer than stock models, which may alter the head angle and provide quicker steering response, ideal for riders seeking enhanced maneuverability. Conversely, shorter shocks may slow steering but can be suitable for specific handling needs. Before installation, verify that your wheel travel can accommodate the new length without clearance issues such as contact with the swingarm, exhaust, chain or belt guard, or tires. These shocks are recommended for heavy-duty applications, especially for bikes operating at or near maximum load capacity over 50% of the time, ensuring durability and reliable 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: Provides consistent shock performance and stability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePre-load spring: Easily adjustable by hand without special tools for personalized comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProgressive-rate spring: Ensures smooth ride and responsiveness\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-pressure gas charged: Maintains performance consistency under heavy loads\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA: Quality craftsmanship and reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAdjustable length: Slightly longer or shorter options available to modify steering and handling characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty application suitability: Designed for bikes operating near maximum load for extended periods\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50246013419713,"sku":"1310-0748","price":860.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0060\/5929\/4802\/files\/159601.png?v=1779214168","url":"https:\/\/teamdreamrides.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-444-series-shock-12-5-inches-standard-and-heavy-duty-performance-black-part-number-444-4001b","provider":"Team Dream Rides","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
