You want to make sure you have added the appropriate elastomer settings prior to adding it to your bike otherwise you will need to do it once the stem is on the bike but prior to riding. The ShockStop Suspension Stem installs just like almost any other cycling stem with one exception. The ShockStop can be used with one or two elastomers, with usually 1 being the recommendation for Flat Handlebars and 2 for Drop Handlebars. The higher the durometer value, the stiffer the ride. The charts below are based on rider weight and give you a good indication of how many elastomers you should use and which colors should be selected. The beauty behind Redshift’s Shockstop Suspension Stem is everything is self-contained within the stem making it look extremely streamlined and clutter-free.ģ Redshift Sports Elastomers showing their durometer values of 50, 70 and 90 Inside the box were some extra colored elastomers used for shock absorption, the ShockStop Suspension Stem preloaded with 2 elastomers and a 4-page user manual.

With that said, Redshift graciously sent out another shock absorbing product they make called the ShockStop Suspension Stem.įor those of you old enough to remember suspension stems were all the rage back in the late 80’s early 90’s, but they never really lived up to the hype and were rather clunky. I contacted Redshift about the seatpost and at the time it was still being tweaked before the official release.
