Different bikes sometimes have different seatpost diameters. The ShockStop Suspension Seatpost is available in 27.2mm, 30.4mm, 30.9mm, and 31.6mm diameters along with 280, 350, 400, and 450mm lengths. If your bike's seatpost diameter does not match one of these standards, you'll need a shim to adapt our seatpost to your bike's frame.  Don't worry though, the shims are super-lightweight and essentially invisible once installed.

Not sure what size seatpost you have currently?  There are a couple different ways to find out.

• Most seatposts have the diameter printed somewhere near the bottom of the post.  You'll need to remove the seatpost from the bike frame (mark your existing seatpost height with a bit of tape before you remove it so you can replace it easily), and look for a number like 27.2, 30.9, or 31.6 (etc.).  That is the diameter of the post.
• If you know the make, model, and year of your bike, you may be able to look up the seatpost diameter online.  Feel free to shoot us an email at info@redshiftsports.com - we'll see if we can help out.
• Ask your local bike shop - they'll be able to accurately measure your bike's seatpost.


Non-compatible posts:  Unfortunately, if your bike's seatpost is smaller than 27.2mm (for example, the 25.4mm posts found on some recent model Cannondale Synapses) our seatpost is currently not compatible with your bike.  Likewise, if you have a bike with an aero/oval/non-round seatpost, or if your bike has an integrated seatmast, the seatpost is also not compatible.

SHOCKSTOP SUSPENSION SYSTEM
SMOOTH THE ROAD
The Shockstop System is a revolutionary short-travel suspension system designed for all riders and all bikes. The ShockStop Seatpost and Stem suspend the rider, smoothing out rough terrain to let you ride faster, further, and more comfortably on the bike you already own.
GO FURTHER
The Shockstop System reduces the accumulation of fatigue that happens as your body absorbs bumps and vibration. Ride further than ever before and arrive feeling fresh.
RIDE FASTER
The Stem and Seatpost absorb momentum-killing bumps and vibrations. Energy that is normally wasted suspending your body is instead converted into for- ward motion.
TAKE CONTROL
The short-travel suspension floats over obstacles so you can maintain control through rough terrain. Customize the suspension feel to match your exact terrain and riding style.

THE SHOCKSTOP SEATPOST IS IMPRESSIVE. IT VIRTUALLY ERASES SMALL AND MID-SIZED BUMPS AND DOESN’T BOB EXCESSIVELY ON SMOOTHER SURFACES. - MATT GERSIB, RIDING GRAVEL
DESCRIPTION

The minimal design of the ShockStop Suspension Stem and Suspension Seatpost blend seamlessly with the aesthetic of modern bikes, while reducing fatigue and strain. The stem and seatpost work together to suspend the rider and smooth out rough terrain on the bike you already own, making your ride smoother, faster, and more comfortable.

Benefits:

• Go further - reducing fatigue that happens as your body absorbs bumps and vibrations
• Ride faster - feeling refreshed from the energy that is normally wasted suspending your body as it is converted into forward motion

• Take control - customizing your suspension feel to float over obstacles so you can maintain control

Stem Details:

• The ShockStop Stem is available in two angle options and two steerer tube diameters:
            - +/-6 degree in 80, 90, 100, 110, and 120mm lengths (in both standard 1 1/8" steerer and oversized 1 1/4" steerer)
            - +30 degree high-rise version in 80mm and 100mm lengths (only available fo 1 1/8" steerer)
• The ShockStop PRO Stem is only available in +/-6 degree angle and 1 1/8" steerer:
            - 80, 90, 100, 110, and 120mm lengths
• Effective suspension travel:
            - Up to 20mm
• Includes 5 swappable elastomers to fine tune your riding style
• Check technical specs for compatibility

Should I get the PRO Stem?:

• The ShockStop PRO Stem has a sleek, polished 'blacked out' appearance, and offers ~15% weight savings (depending on length) over the standard ShockStop Stem. It achieves these weight savings thanks to the use of Titanium hardware, and weight reducing CNC machining.
• The ShockStop PRO Stem functions the same as the standard ShockStop Stem, and is the ideal choice for a more performance focused and weight conscious rider.


Seatpost Details:

• The ShockStop Seatpost is available in two length options:
            - 280mm and 350mm
35mm of active suspension travel
• Infinitely adjustable stiffness via pre-load adjustment and swappable springs
• Adjusting stiffness / pre-load does not shorten travel
• Swappable springs included to accommodate varied rider weight and preference
• Optimized linkage geometry provides ultra-responsive suspension feel
• Check technical specifications for compatibility

What's in the Box:

• 1 x ShockStop Stem or ShockStop PRO Stem, 5 x swappable elastomers (2 pre-installed, 3 additional in box), and all required hardware

+FAQ

[Stem] How do I choose the right length and angle for my bike?

We put together a set of instructions that can help you determine the length and angle of your existing stem and provide guidance on what to chose based on riding style - check it out here.

[Stem] How is the ShockStop Stem different from other suspension stems?

There are a lot of ways the ShockStop is different - so many in fact, we wrote a whole blog post about it. Check it out here.
 

[Stem] How do I measure my steerer tube diameter?

The easiest way to determine your steerer tube size is to use a pair of calipers to directly measure the diameter or take your bike to the local bike shop and they will be able to measure it for you. Alternatively, most of the time a manufacturer will list this under their specifications in the Frame/Fork section. Make sure you are looking at the correct model year as these sizes can change year to year.
The 1-1/8" ShockStop Stem is the standard size used by most modern bikes. The 1-1/4” version can now be used on popular brands such as Giant and Canyon bikes.

[Seatpost] What is the minimum and maximum insertion depth and clearance for the ShockStop Seatpost?

What length should I choose? 350mm or 280mm?

350mm is our standard size, but we developed the 280mm to allow for a wider range of fits. Measure your current seatpost from the clamp collar to the saddle rail - If that distance is less than 205mm, you can use the 280mm seatpost. If not, order the 350mm size.
 

[Seatpost] What kind of saddle bags can I use with the ShockStop Suspension Seatpost?

Most standard strap-based saddle bags will fit the ShockStop Seatpost without issue. If your saddle bag uses rigid clips, clamps, or some other inflexible attachment method, it's possible that your bag may not be compatible.
Any bag that just attaches to the saddle or just attaches to the post is fine. But when you attach to both the post and the saddle you need to account for the relative motion of the saddle to the post. This means that if you cinch down the bag when off the bike it might have some movement when you get on the saddle and compress the post a bit - this might not be a problem but it might be something that is an issue.
It all really depends on weight and how stable the bag is and if it is attached to both the post and the saddle - it can be fine but with a lot of weight it will mean it can move around when the post is compressed. It will likely come down to testing it out with your specific bag to see how it works. And if you have a bag that is able to be secured to just the post or to the post and a rear rack then you will be all set.
 

[Seatpost] Is the stiffness of the ShockStop Seatpost adjustable?

Absolutely - We designed the ShockStop Seatpost so that you can adjust it to perfectly match your weight and riding style. The seatpost comes with a standard spring and an additional spring that can be added inside the standard spring to increase the stiffness. The preload adjustment knob at the bottom of the seatpost allows you to adjust the spring preload - the amount of force required to cause the saddle to start moving.
