I was aware of surface undulations, but the Shockstop is so reactive that no impacts or vibrations made it to the saddle.The new ShockStop PRO Stem blends seamlessly with the aesthetic of modern bikes, while reducing fatigue and strain. The result was simply extraordinary comfort. With the knowledge that my tyre volume and pressure could cope with the sort of impacts I normally try to avoid, I steered towards the roughest patches of tarmac, potholes, ancient cobbles and uneven gravel. At the suggested preload setting, I immediately felt neutrally suspended and didn’t notice any negative effect on seated pedalling. The small unweighted saddle height increase needs a slight adjustment when mounting up for the first time. When weight is added to the post a link compresses the internal spring(s), creating user-adjustable sag, which Redshift recommends should be around 20 per cent of the 35mm total travel. Its two-bolt saddle clamp remains level atop a parallelogram linkage pivoting on dry-lube bushings. Check technical specifications for compatibility. Optimized linkage geometry provides ultra-responsive suspension feel. Race-tuned progressive spring rate elastomers & coil springs. Turn the preload plug to the required position and fit the post. Details: The ShockStop Seatpost is available in two length options: 280mm and 350mm. Numbers one to five are printed within its thread pitch and relate to rider weight and the spring(s). With the main spring fitted, my unit weighed 538g.Ī preload adjusting plug in the base of the seatpost tunes the suspension.

During this time, I have ridden it both on-road and off-road, for off-road, mainly hard-pack trails. Whether youre on a local group ride, or exploring gravel back. I also ride through the winter, and it was a game. SHOCKSTOP SUSPENSION STEM Six or so months ago, I built a ‘gravel grinder’ out of my Giant TCT Advanced road bike. The ShockStop Suspension Stem smooths out road imperfections, reducing fatigue and strain.

I like to ride to gravel, and commute so keeping a higher tire pressure, while still maintaing compliance on the rough stuff has been a godsend. Night and day, the compliance is amazing without sacrificing tire pressure.

Redshift suggests that riders up to 80kg should only use the main spring and those from 90kg to 110kg must install the inner spring as well. Along with the ShockStop Suspension Stem, this suspension system works together to reduce fatigue and strain, letting you ride further, faster, and more comfortably. The ShockStop stem does what gloves and extra bar tape cant: it isolates your upper body from the imperfections of the road, letting you ride further. Yes, I have been using the stem and seatpost since last Winter. Its larger main spring is pre-installed and a smaller diameter inner spring is supplied – to be fitted within it if a stiffer spring rate is necessary. Unlike existing designs, the Shockstop uses springs to provide its suspension. The Redshift ShockStop Stem can seem a little peculiar at first, but once you get the elastomers right this is a superb addition to multi day bike packing trips.
