you will be better off with a redshift suspension stem. Seriously. After testing both extensively I can tell you that Lauf Grit SL is too much of a compromise when handling is considered. It is basically a spring so of course, it will bounce a little, and to be honest, it needs at least a big supple tires to work best. Otherwise, what it absorbs from the ground, it will release to the rider just a tad later. More on this on my website, where I tested both solutions (gravelbikes.cc).
