I was privileged to receive a Redshift Sports ShockStop Suspension Stem in the mail the other day, thanks to my buddy Jim from MTXC in Missoula, MT and Dylan at Redshift Sports. As a purist, it’s a little outside of the box for me but I had heard from other Divide riders, who had run this stem, that it’s a game changer and I was pretty stoked to try it out.

In this Episode I connect with Erik de Brun, co-founder and mechanical engineer for Redshift Sports. We talk about how the company got started and their process for developing products. We chat a little about some of the challenges they faced as a startup and where they find inspiration for new projects.

What stood out to my most about Erik was his passion for what he and his team are doing. As avid cyclists themselves, they are always switched on and thinking about new components when they’re out riding.

If you’re looking at these stems but you’re still on the fence, pull the trigger and get one. It’s really going to make your ride much more comfortable and could mitigate a lot of the issues us endurance riders have with sore necks, backs and hand numbness. Learn more about the ShockStop Suspension Stem and their other accessories.

I’m super excited to bring you a new offer code!
