Redshift stem - Awesome! Love mine! running on a Poseidon X with upgraded wheels, tubeless front 42 mm, 32-33 psi
makes a huge difference in better handling - better control on really chunk sections and where an mtb might be at home.
The small amount of gravel and packed dirt I ride feels as though I'm on road.
also takes the sharp edge off the constant bumping... makes longer rides way more fun.
I use the 2 softest elastomers of the supplied 5, and find no lack of control (actually better than solid stem) and really don;t 'feel' any movement until I might have a large hit or drop.
makes riding most anywhere, except the truly knarly, possible and fun.
a bit pricey - but I'm gonna get a lot of use and many more miles than a solid stem.
Ride On
Yuri
