Description

 

The innovation from Redshift is now 15% lighter and more discreet! Up to 2 cm of travel absorbs even strong potholes, cobblestones, and more! Various strengths adjustable.

The new Pro series - Even lighter and more elegant!

Even lighter and more elegant - that's how the new ShockStop Pro Suspension Stem presents itself. Redshift has further optimized the already slim and discreet damping system. The result is a 15% lighter stem with titanium components and black logos. The damper hardness remains individually adjustable and the comfort as high as usual!

No compromises in handling, no compromises in design, acceptable additional weight

The damping can be individually varied in hardness. Simply remove the two pre-installed plastic dampers and replace them with two of the five supplied dampers. With the wide range of combinations, everyone can find the perfect damping.
The damping does not restrict riding at the limit. The bike still steers very directly and you still get full power on the pedals when standing.
It is also important that the stem does not visually differ from "normal" stems. It looks like a stem and thus fits very well with the appearance of a racing bike without "overdoing it." There are other models on the market that are large and often do not look very good on a racing bike.
For many, weight is also a factor: here you can say that the bike does not become noticeably heavier with the stem (but noticeably more comfortable).

Two installation angles possible: + 6 degrees and - 6 degrees

Like other stems, the ShockStop Pro stem can be installed in both directions. Either + 6 degrees rising or - 6 degrees falling.
Rule of thumb: For riders with back, neck, and/or hand problems, we recommend the + 6 degrees position. For someone who likes to ride with a low handlebar and has no neck problems, the -6 degrees position is better suited. In the end, you have to try it out for yourself or, even better, have it professionally determined in a bike fitting (gladly with us in Hanover).

Use case 1: All road cyclists who have problems with numb & tingling hands

The ShockStop Pro stems can be a solution for numb or tingling hands when road cycling.

Many road cyclists struggle with hand problems. Often, a different seating position or padded gloves help to get the problem under control. But if you continue to have problems, the ShockStop Pro stem from Redshift Sports could be the perfect solution. The wrists are relieved, and shocks are absorbed. The ride becomes much more comfortable. The travel up to 2 cm can be individually adjusted in hardness (by combining the plastic dampers differently).
And all this very discreetly. The damping is not immediately recognizable from the outside, and the bike retains its original design.

Use case 2: Gravel bikes and Gravelplus bikes

Some customers who bought a GravelPlus ride this stem

With the GravelPlus bikes, many athletes are out and about in various terrains today. They ride their "racing bike" over sticks and stones. With the ShockStop Pro stem, you have even more reserves and comfort, especially in rough terrain. Where your arms would otherwise quickly tire, e.g., on rough stone tracks, you now roll over comfortably. Result: More range, less fatigue, no more arm and hand problems.

Detailed explanation of damper hardness adjustment

The damping is adjusted using elastic dampers made of plastic. These are available in five different strengths, all five are included in the package and can also be purchased as a 5-pack. Two of the dampers are installed. You can now combine two very soft dampers for very soft damping or, conversely, install two hard ones for very hard damping. Of course, you can also mix soft and hard, etc.
This allows the damping to be varied very individually in hardness. The conversion is very simple.

Available in five stem lengths

This stem is available in sizes 80, 90, 100, 110, and 120 mm. Simply order the size you are currently using.
Even better is, of course, a bike fitting, in which you will be measured accordingly on your bike. If you have problems with your hands, we always recommend a bike fitting (gladly with us in Hanover).
