Redshift Shockstop Stem
At C&L, we're all long-term bike industry people and it takes us some time to accept wild, harebrained innovations (they're usually quite half-baked), and we've seen plenty of suspension components that didn't work or weren't worth it. Our stocking this stem from Redshift (and soon their seatposts) is a mark of how sensible and effective it is, and many of our trusted friends and riding buddies have attested to us over the years how much it can help make super long rides a lot more pleasant.
From the manufacturer:
The minimal design of the ShockStop Stem blends seamlessly with the aesthetic of modern bikes, while reducing fatigue and strain. Along with the ShockStop Suspension Seatpost, this system works together to suspend the rider and smooth out rough terrain on the bike you already own, making your ride smoother, faster, and more comfortable. Great for bikepacking, gravel biking, road cycling.
