Featuring the innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping based on the frequency of bumps, delivering a smoother and more controlled ride across various terrains. The deflective disc valving further refines shock response, ensuring consistent performance during different riding conditions. \u003cbr\u003e The shocks include a progressive rate spring and are high-pressure gas charged, which helps maintain optimal damping characteristics and prolongs service life. Adjustable spring pre-load allows for fine-tuning without the need for special tools, making it convenient to customize the ride to your preferences. These shocks are suitable for heavy-duty applications, especially for bikes operated near their maximum load capacity over extended periods. \u003cbr\u003e When selecting shocks, consider whether a slightly longer or shorter length might alter the head angle and steering response—longer shocks typically provide quicker steering, while shorter ones may result in slower handling. It is essential to verify that wheel travel can be adjusted without clearance issues with components like the swingarm, exhaust, chain or belt guard, or tires before installation. Proper assessment ensures optimal performance and safety. This shock assembly is designed for professional installation and durable use, providing reliable performance for demanding riding 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 consistent damping response across diverse terrains\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAdjustable spring pre-load: Fine-tune ride height without special tools\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes progressive rate spring: Provides smooth compression and rebound\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-pressure gas charged: Maintains consistent damping performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuitable for heavy-duty applications: Ideal for bikes operated near maximum load capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50246012436673,"sku":"1310-1580","price":860.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0060\/5929\/4802\/files\/160194.png?v=1779214021","url":"https:\/\/teamdreamrides.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-444-series-shock-12-inch-standard-black-444-4249b","provider":"Team Dream Rides","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
