Frequently Asked Questions
How does Frequency Sensing Technology work?
FST senses bump frequency and automatically routes oil through internal ports to adjust damping — small bumps get softer response, big hits get firmer support without manual adjustment.
Can I adjust the preload myself?
Yes — preload adjusts by hand using the threaded top mount cap. No special tools needed.
What's the difference between standard and heavy-duty spring rates?
Heavy-duty springs support more load and provide firmer support. Standard springs suit lighter loads. Choose based on your bike's weight and riding style.
Are these made in the USA?
Yes — Progressive manufactures these shocks in the USA and backs them with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Do I need to revalve these shocks later?
The 444's Frequency Sensing Technology adapts automatically as you ride, eliminating the need for manual revalving in most street-riding scenarios.
