    Thanks for this video review. I ride a steel frame gravel bike, rigid fork...these sound good for taking the vibration out of the canal paths I ride. I'm going to give them a go

    settled on the blue for now ,its really a game changer for such low cost.i have a very light road bike that id stopped using for long distance rides because my hands would always hurt because of the terrible roads in uk.now i can use it more and dont have to worry about occasionally jumping up on the kerb or over potholes.

    Got one and tried it but it bottoms out and tops out on the big bumps. this will work on smooth roads and gravel but will be clunky on the rough stuff even on the green spring. It does soften the light stuff though and the price is not bad to find out if a suspension stem is for you

    Hi there! Great review!
    I really tempted to this stem. I ride mostly on flat and some uneven pavement. I'm thinking to get rid of my front suspension and replace it with the rigid fork.

    the ideal is to let the stem do the small bumps
    while the fork handle the big bumps because fork have LONGER TRAVEL.

    Hello I have a standard e bike MTB with a cheap air fork. Would you say this is responsive enough to smooth out handlebar vibrations on cobblestone road, where the fork isn't able to repond in time?
    Or is it more for bikes without suspension?

    • @FATBIKERIDER

      Because it is spring suspension, its reacts well to high frequency bumps like cobblestones. In my experience it soaks up most of the impacts and leave me feeling happy at my hands. Definitely worth it for its price. The stem is heavy though. Something I don't like about it is the topping out cause a metal to metal impact which is irritating.

      Я думаю, что помимо этой шайбы ещё что-то устанавливается внутрь. Только об этом умалчивается. Когда я разобрал этот аммортизатор, стало понятно, что установка этой прорезиненной шайбы ничего не даст, но, на всякий случай пошёл, купил и поставил. Клацанье от хтог меньше не стало, только немного мягче. Я ставлю почти самую жёсткую пружину и возможно по этой причине клацанье такое сильное
