Frequently Asked Questions
What is Frequency Sensing Technology (FST)?
FST senses bump frequency and automatically adjusts internal damping oil flow to absorb both small road chatter and large impacts without manual adjustment.
Can I adjust the spring preload myself?
Yes — the top-mount threaded adjuster lets you fine-tune preload by hand with no special tools needed.
What's the difference between standard and heavy-duty spring rates?
Standard rate works for solo riders and stock weight; heavy-duty is for riders who carry passengers, luggage, or heavier body weight.
Are these shocks made in the USA?
Yes, Progressive 444 shocks are manufactured in the USA.
Do I need a special tool to install these?
Installation typically requires basic tools and knowledge of shock removal/installation. Consult the manual or a qualified mechanic if unsure.
