What makes the springs 'progressive rate'?

Progressive rate springs have coils that are wound closer together at one end and farther apart at the other. This design allows the spring to offer a softer initial response and then become stiffer as it compresses, providing a balance of comfort and support.

How do I adjust the preload on these shocks?

The shocks feature a five-position cam-style preload adjuster. You typically rotate this cam mechanism to select the desired preload setting, which changes how much the spring is compressed before the shock begins to work.

Are these shocks sold individually or as a pair?

These shocks are sold as a pair, providing matched suspension performance for the rear of your motorcycle.
