2 degree @ 110 mm stem is about 3.84 mm of movement (2 pi x r /360 deg * 2 deg) where r is the radius of the circle (stem length). This is assuming that the pivot is at the center of the steerer tube. Not sure if it's worth it. Every now and then school actually pays off, and I really don't know why I'm remembering this after being out of school for 3 decades.

Thanks for the math. I was asking my daughter for the answer to this trig problem. She said .38mil which I thought was a to small. Now I see it was a matter of the decimal and now makes better sense. Thanks

Just noticed one more thing I prefer about the Tranz-x relative to Redshift and Kinekt. Each has its own features that I prefer for different terrains. In addition to the low cost and light weight of Tranz-X, I noticed the rotational compliance when I hit a rock rinding on pavement. My hands on the hoods, I hit a rock that gave a slight rotation to the wheel and fork as it shot off to the side. I barely noticed feeling any rotation or any impact in my hands as the wheel immediately snapped back. Noticeably less dangerous than a horizontally rigid stem.- Pretty cool and definitelh a keeper on my paved road touring bike.

As others have replied, travel is going to depend on stem length assuming you’re on the tops, but will also depend on bar reach and brake hood shape (and exactly where you rest your hands).

Late to party, but I have it on 3 different touring (gravel) bikes with drop bars. initially happy with the damping, but am experiencing compression wear on the elastomer after only a year on the bikes that get the most trail abuse. To be fair, they all have 1” fork shims that may be the cause. At $25 on Amazon, they are cheap to replace, but am moving my two 3-season bikes to Redshift and considering a Kinect metal spring for my 4-season rough trails and sub-zero bike (out of concern for elastomer changes in low temps). The symptoms are more play when pulling up like when bunny hopping and more chatter on chop. Otherwise, I do feel much less shoulder and upper body issues on longer rides of 60-110K. I’m a 58y.o, ex- road, track, and cyclocross amateur racer and still ride a 5cm drop saddle to bars.

Why are so many more people talking about the Redshift shockstop suspension stem than Tranzx's one on youtube? Is it because of the huge price and angle of travel differences?

2 things First you say negative but it seems like its a 0° stem, and on the website it doesn't have a ° listed as far as negative or positive Second do u think by less nm like 6nm wouldn't it make the stem more active? Versus almost fully nm'rd out it would become almost non active Lastly im definitely intrested in this stem a little more than the red shift as I think that would give some strange front end when reslly powering down. But could be wrong
