Progressive 444 spring rate

[Mike188]

Ok so I am finally going to update to the Progressive 444 13 inch rear shocks.
The question is do I go for the Standard or the Heavy duty springs?
I am around 110kg or 240lb then add my gear to that so 115kg or 250lb ready to ride, my better half also comes along at times.
PS> I am trying to lose weight down to about 90/95kg so 200/210lbs.

I have the standard 444-4209 which was a massive improvement also installed the Progressive springs up front made it sit up and pay a bit more attention on cornering and braking eliminating that terrible trait of bogging in... only thing is I have to have the rear dialled all the way to suit my Mrs on occasion (very rarely) who weighs 48K wet that plus myself at 95K and a little combined luggage works for me as your carrying more weight I'm not sure how that would work for you? I've forgotten the spring load between the standard and heavy you can check on the Progressive website good luck

Just a recommendation. Run stock length and standard springs along with progressive springs in forks and you will be a happy camper.

Ok so I went with the 13 inch HD, work perfectly on minimum setting with only me onboard, dialled it up a couple of turns on a recent 500km trip with luggage and pinion and worked like a charm....
