Update: Our ShockStop suspension stem giveaway is in the books. Scroll down to see if you are one of the three lucky winners.
Suspension stems are making a comeback as an option for gravel and cyclocross riders to smooth out their ride. The ShockStop suspension stem looks like a traditional stem but provides up to 20mm of vertical travel to help absorb bumps and increase comfort during your ride.

The ShockStop is a modern suspension stem that uses elastomers to provide adjustable preload and stiffness so riders can fine-tune their ride. Because the stem is laterally rigid, climbing, sprinting and riding out of the saddle feel normal while the subtle movement of the stem isolates riders from surface imperfections without significantly impacting bike geometry and handling.
The ShockStop is ready for both cyclocross and gravel and fits your bike with lengths from 90 to 120mm for the +/- 6-degree model and 100mm length for the +30-degree model.
Learn more about the ShockStop in our ride review.
