Redshift Sports ShockStop Suspension Stem

The ShockStop stem offers between 1 and 2 centimeters of travel, depending on the elastomer configuration and rider weight. This is designed to be subtle, focusing on smoothing out high-frequency road buzz and small impacts rather than absorbing large hits like a mountain bike fork.

Not at all. The design maintains high torsional rigidity, meaning you won't feel the stem twisting or flexing when you are out of the saddle climbing or sprinting. It is engineered to isolate your hands from vibration while keeping the steering input direct and responsive.

Yes, you can tune the feel by swapping the internal elastomers. The stem comes with multiple elastomer options, allowing you to customize the compliance based on your body weight and personal preference for how much 'give' you want in the front end.

The ShockStop stem is designed for a standard 1-1/8 inch (28.6mm) steerer tube and fits 31.8mm handlebars, which covers the vast majority of modern road, gravel, and hybrid bikes. Please verify your current stem's length and angle to ensure the 70mm length and 6-degree angle will maintain your preferred riding position.

The ShockStop weighs 282 grams. While this is heavier than a standard rigid aluminum stem, most riders find the trade-off in comfort and reduced fatigue on long rides or rough gravel sections to be well worth the extra weight.
