what is the difference between 1 size vs 74-140? understand that this model does not come with shock absorption, how important it is to have? thanks!

There isn't. And as to the shock absorption I would honestly say not at all, since the importance of the poles themselves can vary it's just one more thing that can be helpful. I have never owned a pair with em however so I can't tell you how much they help.

4 is low.. goes all the way up to 100. We have tested the shock with our fingers and it is definitely stronger as you go up in numbers.

Stock shocks on an ultra are 13" on the bike, the 944's standard are 13" but once installed on the bike, they sag to 12", if u get these shocks your bike will sit 1" but still have the travel of a 13" shock, hope this helps

Not zero but very minimal compared to standard pump. On shock i give one extra pump to get above expected PSI. Volume in shock is greatly reduced compared to a tire, so loss on tire would not be a factor.

I have 175 in my Medium bike. MTB specialized came with 170 in Small size. So it dependend in your heigh. If you have small legs 170 will help you.

I can't compare the two, but reviews I read indicated specs for the 140 were better at the edges. I bought the 140 several months ago, and am very pleased with quality and speed.

One inch. The 444 will maintain stock height. The 944 will drop it one inch. Look closely at both descriptions. I also asked the same question of Progressive when I called them for advise when I was replacing my blown out stock air shocks. I am 6'6" and didn't want to lose any height. Otherwise performance is about the same

I believe they are both the same just listed by different people. If you look at the description for One Size it notes 74-140cm. Mine is also 2 adjustable sections, 3 in total.

I preferred a 175. Now I have a road bike and use 172.5. It's really what you prefer.

I purchased the heaviest available. I'm still pretty new to the sport but with a few exceptions, it is my understanding that more experienced players will almost always go for the heavier ones.

The ones you are looking at our shorter so it will lower your bike by 1"... when I got mine.. it got the H/Duty because I weigh about 235 and when I load it they work well. It is nice not having to check to see if you have air or not in the shock.. And the ride is much better than the air shocks.. Harley now places there version of these now on the CVO Ultra's . But the Harley ones are like $ 600.00 ..Good luck

The Schwinn 120 had a straight pedal post where the user could easily hit his foot or ankle while pedaling. The pedal post of the 170 is offset, moving the foot and ankle further away from the potential contact point. My wife and I have been using the 170 almost daily for the past 2-3 months and have never hit our feet or ankles.

The shocks come with sleeves. The big ones are 19mm od, and 16mm id. smaller one the fits into the big one is 13mm id. The supplied bushings didn't last long I replaced with polyurethane bushings I found.

Dear Sandra, I'm not familiar with the $229 model, only the one I purchased. I have very little gap when the seat is raised and never though of the space as an issue - only a normal appearance. I weigh 194 pounds and feel it could be more supportive.George

I believe that the 944 is a shorter shock that lowers the ride height and while you can also get the 444 in 12 inch I went with the 13 inch as I didn't was to loose ground clearance.

Ive owned 5 of these and never had a brake problem. You need the 24 inch version rather than the 26 inch.

Well...since I'm of the "more is better" persuasion, my knee-jerk answer is the 22lb. That said, though, I'm 5' 8" & 150 and the 17.6 works just fine. Of course, I haven't actually tried the 22lb, so can't say whether it might really be better and worth a couple of bucks. Hope that helps!
