Game Changer for Rear End suspension

I recently completed a full suspension overhaul, and the Progressive 413 Series Standard Duty 15" Shocks for the rear were a crucial part of that transformation. Let me tell you, these shocks deliver a truly excellent ride quality and are a massive step up from the stock suspension. What immediately stands out is the consistent dampening and control they provide. They handle everything from highway cruising to city potholes without feeling jarring. The 15" length gives my bike a slightly different stance and better overall travel, which translates directly into a more comfortable and predictable ride. The performance of these rear shocks is particularly noteworthy when considered alongside the front end. I paired them with the Progressive Monotube Fork Cartridge Kit (professionally installed with 5 spacers per fork), and the combination is simply superb. The bike is now perfectly balanced—the smooth, controlled action of the front cartridges works in harmony with the excellent damping of the 413 series shocks. The entire chassis feels connected and responsive, inspiring a lot more confidence in corners. If you're on the fence about upgrading your rear suspension, don't hesitate. The Progressive 413 Series 15" shocks are a high-quality component that dramatically improves comfort and handling. They are, without a doubt, a perfect match for any complementary Progressive front-end upgrade!
