imagine the perfect road the feeling of flying over smooth pavement gliding from curve to curve unfortunately for most of us the reality is not so smooth at redshifts sports we want every road to feel like the perfect road which is why we're so excited to be back here on Kickstarter to introduce the Shox top suspension step the shock stop is a pivoting suspension step that isolates your body from bumps shocks and road buzz compared to a regular step the shock stop dramatically reduces impact forces on your hands and wrists we designed the stem from the ground up specifically for road riding and it's available in a variety of lengths and angles with adjustable stiffness so everyone from performance cyclists to recreational riders and commuters can find the perfect fit I love riding my road bike but it's really stiff and it tends to transmit every little bump straight to my hands and arms I use gloves extra bar tape and I even upgraded to a carbon-fiber frame but in reality those changes only added a tiny amount of cushioning you've probably felt fatigue numbness or even pain in your hands after a long ride and usually it's just annoying but the vibrations and impacts actually slowed you down and caused a loss of control and over time they can even lead to long-term injury the Shox top stem has an integrated pivot joint with twin adjustable elastomers that smooth out the road letting you relax and enjoy the ride instead of dodging every little bump and crack you can focus on the road ahead every shock your body absorbs actually slows you down the shop stop lets you ride faster at the same energy level and it also reduces fatigue so you feel fresher at the end of every ride at the end of the day the shock stop just makes every part of your ride feel better installing the shock stop on your bike is incredibly easy and you can choose from different stiffness elastomers to get the precise feel you want we design the shop stop to be lightweight torsionally rigid and completely maintenance-free our pivot design uses the same fully sealed cartridge bearings that are used in full suspension mountain bikes and we chose the highest quality components and materials to ensure that the shocks top would stand up to even the roughest road let's be honest the suspension stems of the past were a bit of an eyesore and they definitely weren't optimized for a road riding we tuned the travel feel and aesthetics of the shocks top to perfectly compliment modern road bikes and the roads we ride on two years ago we launched the switch arrow system here on Kickstarter and we were amazed at the response today there are thousands of people all over the world riding with red ship components on their bikes the support we received let us turn an idea into a sustainable company we built redshift on a foundation of delivering the highest quality products we have existing relationships with suppliers and manufacturers a realistic timeframe for production and a proven track record of delivering products that our backers love we think the shock stop will let people read further faster and more comfortably now help us turn every road into a perfect Road smartphone is becoming more and more an essential part of everyday life and using it during a bicycle ride is not an exception recently cyclists use their own smartphones for GPS tracking listening to music getting calls and so on while riding bicycles however its limited battery life has always been the biggest concern for reliable outdoor use worry no more our battery stem features an integrated 10,000 milliamp ayres battery pack and this will keep you connected all day long without worrying about the battery life it's three times larger than your smartphone battery and at least two times larger than a typical product on the market another advantage of this product is that it is also the first battery integrated bicycle stem that is made of carbon fiber carbon fiber stem will protect the battery from external shock for your safe riding our team consists of engineers and designers we've been working on this project since March of last year we are still developing and improving of at our stem we're making it look nicer lighter stiffer and safer we want to bring this product to you as soon as possible and for that we need your help invest in us and I promise our very stem will keep you connected all day long one of my favorite things to do is to get out and ride my bike but the combination of rough roads and stiff bike frames means riding can be really tough on your body in 2016 we launched the shock stop suspension step-dad cushioning to the front end of the bike the stem changed the way people thought about suspension but the front of the bike is only half the equation that's why we're so excited to introduce the shock stop seat post a revolutionary short travel suspension seatpost that will completely change your riding experience no matter what kind of bike you ride maybe you're out for an epic gravel adventure or just dealing with potholes on your daily commute you're gonna find rough roads wherever you ride modern bikes are designed for speed and efficiency not for comfort this means bumps and impacts pass straight into your body which leads to fatigue pain or even injury we designed the shock stop seat post to suspend your body and isolate you from the shocks and vibrations of the road we optimize the travel and suspension kinematics to provide a super plush bottomless suspension feeling we designed the seat post to integrate seamlessly with the styling of modern bikes you can change the spring rate and preload to match your specific riding style and it's compatible with all types of writing gravel ebike commuter road and mountain studies show fatigue reduces riding efficiency by up to 20% typically adding comfort to your bike meant sacrificing performance the shock stop seat post lets you ride faster and more efficiently because instead of bracing yourself against impacts you can stay seated and keep pedaling over rough surfaces it reduces the accumulated effects of bumps and vibrations allowing you to ride further faster and more comfortable the shocks top seat post is the rare product that increases comfort and performance riding the shocks top seat post is truly transformative we launched redshift sports in 2013 with the help of the Kickstarter community it's amazing to think that today thousands of cyclists all over the world are riding with redshift components we can't thank you enough for your support and enthusiasm we think this is our best product yet and we can't wait for you to experience what it feels like to ride the shocks top seat post
