Their products are all carefully done up by a team of ride control trained engineers using state of the art computers, shock dynos and real-world testing to create the ideal suspension platform for any bikes. Lastly, their quality control systems touch on each and every component from the assembly to final stages, and the company itself has even stated that “nothing gets in or out of the building without passing a rigorous inspection.”

With the company’s mission to “Ride Quality!”, they have long since been providing aftermarket shocks for many motorbikes.

The next to join its line of shocks is the 2018 Harley Softail.

Motorcyclists would know just how much suspension tuning can improve the quality of the ride, handling and comfort of the motorcycle. And these dramatic improvements will also be able to provide confidence to the rider, giving them an unforgettable riding experience.

With all the pros of having a good suspension tuning in mind, US company Progressive Suspension has created a shock specifically tuned to the needs of both rider and machine.

According to the press release, the company utilized their proven 465 Series Monoshock, and they have “valved it, sprung it and tested the hell out of the shock” until it was able to transform the ride of the new Harley Softails for the better.

Their newly updated shock now comes equipped with features such as deflective disc damping, a 5-position rebound adjuster and threaded preload body or Remote Adjustable Preload (RAP).

The product is also reported to be backed by a Lifetime Warranty, and will be available in stock height, lowered and tall versions.
