Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock - 12 inch Heavy-Duty Black (Part Number 444-4250B)
Regular price $860.95 USD
Category:
The Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock, with part number 444-4250B, is engineered for superior performance and durability in heavy-duty applications. Featuring the innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), this shock automatically adjusts damping based on bump frequency, ensuring a smoother ride across diverse terrains. The FST system dynamically enhances comfort and control by sensing vibrations and adjusting the damping response accordingly. Constructed with deflective disc valving, it provides precise damping control for a balanced and responsive ride. The shock includes a hand-adjustable spring preload, allowing for quick customization without the need for special tools, which makes setup straightforward and efficient. Equipped with a progressive rate spring and high-pressure gas charge, it maintains consistent performance under varying loads and conditions. This shock is slightly longer than stock, which may subtly alter the head angle and offer quicker steering response, ideal for riders seeking enhanced maneuverability. Conversely, a slightly shorter shock can provide a marginally slower steering feel, suitable for different riding preferences. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes operating at or near their maximum load ratings over 50% of the time, ensuring the shock can handle demanding conditions without compromise. Before installing shocks that differ from the OEM length, it is essential to verify that wheel travel and clearance issues such as swingarm or axle contact with exhaust, chain or belt guards, and tires are not affected. Proper assessment ensures safe and optimal performance, preventing potential interference or damage during operation. The Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shock combines advanced technology with robust construction to deliver reliable, responsive suspension performance for demanding riders and heavy-duty use.
