Redshift Sports ShockStop Suspension Stem

The ShockStop stem is designed for standard 1-1/8 inch (28.6mm) steerers and 31.8mm handlebars, which covers the vast majority of modern road, gravel, and hybrid bikes. If your bike uses a different handlebar diameter, you will need a shim to make it compatible.

Not at all. The design is engineered to absorb vertical impacts while maintaining high torsional rigidity, meaning you won't feel the stem twisting or flexing when you are out of the saddle or cornering aggressively.

The ShockStop provides between 1 and 2 centimeters of travel, which is just enough to take the edge off road buzz and chatter without feeling like you are riding a mountain bike with full suspension.

Yes, the stem uses interchangeable elastomers that you can swap out to tune the suspension feel based on your body weight and riding style. The kit includes multiple elastomers so you can dial in the perfect level of compliance.

Installation is straightforward and follows the same process as any standard threadless stem. If you are comfortable swapping out a stem and adjusting your headset, you can easily install the ShockStop yourself.
