Build video of my new fave TT bike can be found here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrCZdq1_x9_NqJ8.html

I just love my Kitchen sink bars with top and drop cruise control grips. So comfy. Its the cockpit I rode Brussels-Sweden-Brussels and the bike that its on (Specialized Diverge Sport) is now my commuter ride. Wish they made an internal routed version for Di2 and then I'd have it on my new bike too.

Redshift is mega stuff, good to see you showing them some love. Running redshift and SQLab bits on my bike and its literally game changing how much more comfort i have now

I have the same impression as Jimmy when it comes to riding the dual position seat post with the suspension stem. It's a Frankenstein monster of an idea, but it just works so so well, and my buddy hated it, until he tired it. Hahaha. Thanks for doing this review!

Had these for years on my gravel/adventure bike about time they got some love! By the way redshift is the shift in the light spectrum (towards red) used to calculate the speed of objects in space moving away from us ,usually stars or galaxies.

Redshift is the “change in colour” of the light as any object moves away from you - like the Doppler effect when a car horn or siren changes pitch as the car passes you.

Love Jimmy's grumpy admission of fondness for these products.

I have their stem shock and their seat post shock, and I love them both. The combination of bigger tubeless tires, and then adding the RedShift shocks has totally changed my bike. I am seriously looking at buying the full kitchen sink handlebar group. Maybe without the bag part.

I have the suspension post and stem. Game changing for bikepacking. Takes out the shock and vibrations. If you setup the elastomers properly you barely even notice the movement, but your hands thank you. Great company with proper useful items that aren’t gimmicks

redshift also make light up pedals which I love on my urban e bike, great way to increase visibility especially in these dark winter nights, they only do flat pedals at the moment but clipless are coming

This is what innovation is, offering all the comfortable options.

I’ve been running the bars, tape and both sets of grips on my commuter for years now. Love ‘em!

The dual position seat post with aero bars is an absolute GAME CHANGER!! I’m a beginner triathlete in every sense of the term and currently riding a Diverge (gravel bike) it really throws you over the bars and there is definitely a speed gain out of this more aggressive position! Glad RedShift is getting some love!

The stem from Redshift is awesome! I had it on my bike before I switched to my Lauf Seigla so I don’t need it for front suspension anymore. It was a game changer for a bike with a rigid fork. I would highly recommend it!

I have Redshift stems, bars and grips. At first I thought that the stems were crap as they didn't really bounce much when I was going over potholes and larger features. It was only later that I realized that I simply wasn't getting hand numbness any more. The stems took the road buzz away rather than being ultra-bouncy. I suppose that if I put the more supple elastomers in that I could get a bounce, but I'm happy with a bar that's actually quite stiff but supple enough to work. No bounce at all when I'm pulling on the bars or standing up while climbing steeper grades. The shape of the bars is ultra comfortable for multiple days of 100 km+ rides.

I loved my kitchensink so much on my bikepacking rig, I got another one for my single speed steamroller for the city. Both grips, no loop. Also got the suspension stem. Best bar out of ~10 I’ve tried.

I have ridden red shift bars with extra rubber for a couple of years gives so much comfort and control on long rough gravel and bike packing adventures.

Absolute banger of a video, these products have been covered a lot by many people but your opinions are the ones I value the most. I'd love to see you guys lean even further into goofy products in the future, maybe converting a cheap flat bar bike to a "drop bar" gravel bike with something like the Surly corner bar, or seeing how close you can get one of the Decathlon bikes to Jimmi's TT bike in speed, using only these products to adjust the riding position!

Thank you for doing this video. I've had a long relationship with redshift products. I do a few triathlons a year since 2015. Mostly 70.3s. All on redshift equipt bikes. I built my current bike with a Dual-Position Seatpost, a Shockstop stem and the clip on aero bars similar to the setup you've shown but with some additional modifications. My groupset is a mix of Sram Rival and Force and I rigged up some Sram Clicks with custom disconnects at the end of the aero bars that allow me to take the aero bars off and on and have electronic bar end shifting in seconds. The whole setup is clean and tidy. The Sram Blips were not out at the time of my bild. With those it would be even easier to have a setup with removable electronic shifting aero bars. I love that on group rides where I'm not using my aero bars there are no tools required to take them off when I am ready to put them back on they are set in the EXACT same position they were before. No messing around trying to get the angle back to what I had it before. They clamp back to the exact position by bike fitter worked out for me. My fitter and I spend a bit of time working on my fit in both the Aero and Road bike position. My fit is aggressive in both positions but comfortable enough that I can be in either position all day without fatigue (full disclosure... We got to my aero position by using some Profile Design extensions...not the Red Shift extensions that come with the clip on aero bar kit). When my bike is if full tri mode with my EZ Gains Wheel Cover it feels rapid. I don't think the marginal gains of a TT bike would are worth the cost of a second dedicated bike for me (at my current level) when I can get almost there with the one bike I have. I think people are unaware of how this sort of versatility can benefit them. I'm a seated climber and I love having the option to flick my seat back on a climb and settle in to a road bike position and spin my way up all the way up then flic back to aero position at the summit. It's also great that on technical sections were a road bikes handling is beneficial it just takes a flick of the seat to get to my road position and a flick to return back to aero position once the road opens up again. I never have to choose what bike would be better for whatever race I'm doing. That segways into the other benefit. Being able to pop the aero bars off and on has made traveling a little easier as well. I can fit my bike in a much smaller case that a normal time trial bike would fit into becasue I don't have to contend with fitting awkward aero handlebar setups in a case. Traveling with a smaller case has made it easier and cheaper to get about at race venues. I don't have to worry about renting a large vehicle or arrange for large taxi/ubers. My smaller Post Carry Transfer case fits in about any car. Love the chanel and the content. Keep up the good work.

I’ve has the stem for about 4 years and it really makes gravel riding more comfortable. I also got the suspension seatpost but I gave up on it due to fit issues. I ride a zero setback post and I simply couldn’t get my saddle forward enough with the Redshift.

Those grips look very similar to a product called "morgan grips" from ~1980. I had a pair for a time and while I don't recall much about them, it's interesting to see yet another example of the cycling industy recycling old ideas. :)

Great stuff! Love my Kitchen Sinks and especially the bag in the loop! I ride the full setup on my gravel bike!

I'm running kitchen sink bars with the top grips and the front loop on my ATB. I ended up sticking a large feed bag from Road Runner (AUTO-PILOT STEM BAG) inside of the loop (this was well before Red Shift had a bag) and I absolutely love the setup and bars. Great Vid!

This is something that deserves A LOT MORE exposure! Back then the bike is fun and it's all about unique parts, the modifications, hacks, mix ups... Though I'm not a rider from 90-2000 era but I find a lot of similar stuffs were from that era, how I know? because I have tried to find these stuffs hard, but all I got is some old forum talks about these products... Until early 2010s people were still positively interested in converting road bike to TT, what surprised me most is there were even a lot of talks about converting the first gen Specialized Venge to TT use, then there seems were even official kits from Specialized for this purpose (reversed seat post and alike). All I can say is that is a different Specialized, and a different group of people as the customers. Today all they want is you to buy that $10000 TT bike after the fact that you have already bought a $10000 road bike. What is more ridiculous is the riders community seems to fall into this victim state happily. Now you talk about converting or doing TT on road bike everyone mocks you. They will just say you are poor, less committed, less serious, less knowledgeable, and you do not deserve the holy TT/TRI sport.

I have the non-pro suspension seat post and I'm ~105kg. At first, I had the standard springs and set the pre-load to 4 out of 5. It felt way too springy. I bought the stiffer springs and adjusted the pre-load the max setting. It's a game changer. It's stiff enough that I don't feel like I'm bouncing down the road, but provides nice vibration dampening. When I hit a really big bump, it compresses quite a bit and takes the most of the hit. It feels like I'm floating down the road (in a good way). I also have the suspension stem and it's set to the max stiffness. It has improved ride comfort to such a degree that I could never see myself going back to a stiff stem. I have conducted multiple tests with my previous seat post and stem (titanium) and the Redshift ones. There is no detectable performance difference. That surprised the hell out of me. Bike specs: Lynskey Helix Road frame (titanium), Light Bicycle deep section wheels (carbon) with 28mm GP5000 AS TR set up tubeless, Specialized Power Pro saddle, Redshift suspension stem (non-pro), Redshift suspension seatpost (non-pro)

Wondering if that flip seatpost could help with climbing? Bringing your weight over the BB for steep extended hills. Could be the basis for a great video.

How well does the suspension seatpost work with the saddle packs often used in bikepacking?

I have used the clip-on/clip-off areo bars for about a year and a half and they are awesome! they also make spacers so you raise and lower the height really easily.

The MTB equivalent of the kitchen sink bar. Farr Aero MTB. The Redshift bag even fits in the little loop.

As a triathlete who does not want to buy an expensive time-trial bike for a few rides (and seconds) per year, I love the two-position seat post and the clip-on aerobats. The seat post allows easy transition between normal and TT positions (I use it with a TT saddle though). The clip on aero bars means I can do my usual rides without the bars, then clip them on whenever I need them for a race or TT training. But I only have to set their position up once. There is also a mounting adapter for the aerobats to put the bike computer between the bars close to the handlebar. Both great products and certainly worth the money!

Got my first ever drop bar bike recently, a used gravel bike and it had the stem from the previous owner, coming from mountain biking and riding gravel that's more like not so extreme MTB trails ( what it sounds like bike shop Nick rides) it's fantastic and I wouldn't want to be without it

love how comfortable the grips on the drops are that i now want them on my road aero bars.

Every single compliment was delivered with great annoyance - brilliant video!!

I use the Shockstop stem and seatpost on my gravel bike and I swear by them. The increase in comfort and control far exceeds the 400g weight penalty over rigid parts. The best praise I can give it is that can subtle enough you don't notice it working until you go back to rigid parts. IMHO, the standard Shockstop seatpost is better suited for offroad (more active, nore travel) but the pro version is excellent on road bikes (firm and subtle). Currently, I have the Pro versions of the stem and seatpost on my road optimized gravel bike and it is so comfortable on long rides and poor quality roads.

Cane creek has been making a suspension seat post and stem for a very long time, so there are other options out there.

I use the kitchen sink bars on my indoor trainer. Game changer. Very comfortable to sprint in. I also mount a keyboard on the front loop. I can type on Zwift chat with ease.

I really love their stuff (except from the price). I have the handle bars with top grips and drop grips and a shockstop stem. Apart from the stem unfortunatley being a bit too long for my bike’s (and my own) geometry, I love all that stuff. I am floored to having to realise I got to change to a 60mm stem, as the shortest one they make is 80mm.

I have the suspension seat post and stem with the clip on aero bars on my Surly Ogre. This bike is my multi day touring bike and all three are a game changer. Ride comfort has increased because of the seat post and stem. The aero bars give you another position which i find great long days in the saddle. After thousands of miles I can say they are well made as well.

oh snap, a lot of this is going on my To Get Someday list. Thanks for the reviews and insights!

Can you guys please also test the FSA VAS stem? This one is supposed to absorb vibrations as well.

I love the suspension seat post. Added to my gravel bike it just makes rough rides feel smooth.

Watching this at work with my gravel bike with Redshift Shockstop stem behind me and nodding in agreement.

Love my quick release aerobars...on the indoor trainer bike, click click...now on the outdoor bike (unfortunately can't use the seatpost since my 2019 checkpoint is not compatible)

I've had the quick release aerobars on my Brompton ever since I bought it. Love them. At $200 they're $50 more than my road aerobars which isn't too much more. I enjoyed this video and I'm about to order some drop bar grips which I didn't even know they made until you showed me. Yes, their stuff is expensive, but it's well made and often unique.

In science, redshift is about light moving away from the observer's position. As the light moves away (at the speed of light), the wavelengths stretch out in relation to the observer. The stretched lightwaves move more toward the infrared wavelength, making them shift red. Conversely, light traveling toward an observer will blueshift, or move toward the ultraviolet wavelengths as the lightwave is compacted (in relation to the observer). This is used for Doppler Radar and can also be experienced in soundwaves. A car coming toward you sounds higher pitch and then once it moves past, the pitch gets lower. Sound waves are compressing and expanding the same way that light does.

I have had the suspension stem, Kitchen sink bars, and suspension seatpost on my Orange RX9 gravel bike for over two years. They make the bike really comfortable, especially over long periods in the saddle. Only downsides were price (but you get what you pay for) and my LBS moaning that setting up,the stem was a bit of a pain. But he moans whenever I ask him to fit a new type of product. Thanks for the review.

I bought a set of kitchen sink bars earlier this week, after seeing them on a bike build on Jimmies channel! used the channel as my reference on the checkout on redshift so hopefully they send you some love!

I love my redshift suspension seat post. Everyone of my gravel buddies love their

Stem: Highly recommended for skinny tire bikes. I put the Redshift stem on my gravel bike and could not feel any benefit (thanks to the fat tires). Switched it to my road bike riding on 25 mm tires and it was a game changer.

I use the cruise control tops and bar tape. I I absolutely love them. Especially on really long rides.

The seatpost and stem are so good for long distance rides. If I still had the free time for more longer rides I’d be all over the handlebars and grips.

I have arthritis in my hands and the handlebar top grips are super comfortable and allow me to ride lots of miles without pain. CRUISE CONTROL DROP BAR GRIPS ROCK!

When looking to get a shorter stem for my gravel bike, I came across the Red Shift suspension stem. While certainly way more expensive than a simple replacement stem, the standard version has proven to be a great upgrade. The compliance is just enough to take the buzz out of hands and wrists without feeling too squishy. I am considering the kitchen sink bars...just not a fan of the extreme flair of the drops.

Outstanding recommendations there.👌

I was looking at the redshift stem and didn’t like the single pivot either. Ended up going with the Kinect suspension stem, which is a dual pivot so the bars don’t lean. Have put about 800 miles on it gravel road mix and love it! Has reduced shoulder pain to almost unnoticeable. It’s worth a look if you are looking at suspension stems.

1:14 "That's what she said." sorry, I couldn't resist

I love the Redshift stems and I have them on two of my bikes but the thing that I dont like about then is if you are using a drop bar it will only work if you are on the hoods. if you put your hands on the drops the lever flexing motion does not work.

btw the ShockStop seatpost is also compatible with Di2. The 350mm one and the Pro one. Nice.

the suspension stem is awesome - Ive been using one for a few years and it really is that good - 28mm tyres feel like 42mm tyres - for the seat suspension, if you don't mind the few extra grammes, go with Suntour NCX seatpost. A very good result - but they're only £60 odd, with a usable 15-20ish mm of vertical travel under load. It's like riding a cloud😄

I've got the suspension seat post, bought it for my gravel but swap it between that and the road bike, its sooooo good! I dont care about an extra 200 grams, I do care about comfort and my back. The stem gets lots of great feedback online, might invest in one in the future.👍

1:41 bloody hell he's been unlucky with the seagulls 🦅💣

Redshift seems to make a lot of very thoughtful, but niche, products. One thing that has been tried many times before is the suspension seat post. It’s a favorite of people riding beach cruisers who have all their weight on the saddle. But, for an enthusiast, they don’t tend to work because they sap power and introduce pedal bob. I’d be interested to know whether you’ve seen that. A spring between the saddle and the bottom bracket can’t help but have those side effects.

I have their kitchen sink bar with grips and tape and the stem. It greatly increases my comfort. My seat post just arrived today and my aching bum is looking forward to it. One observation on the Kitchen Sink bar; I purchased the bar with the loop for use on my bikepacking gravel bike. The loop causes issues with packing things up front. So I'm moving that bar to my road bike and ordered a replacement bar without the loop for the gravel bike. Comfort times two. Win, win. I do agree with the comment about pro products. It's just dumb.

Love my kitchen sinks on my gravel bike. Plus the loop provides some protection for my garmin.

I love Redshift products. They just brought out another seatpost called the Pro Endurance which is half way between the two and will probably prove to be the most popular. One thing you didn't mention is Redshifts wonderful customer service which is second to none, they just want happy customers. I think their products are more popular than you realise (especially here in the US) because not all cyclists are aged under 30 and under 80kg...

I think you guys nailed it for RedShift. They are weird on paper... but... if you think you might like it and are willing to pay for it, the product is really cool. I was fortunate to be given a seatpost (the 'ight' version) to try. I installed it on a road bike because I am a nerd, expecting to have a 'meh' reaction. Nope. More 'Wow!" But a subtle 'wow' if that makes sense. It just disappears under your butt but you know it is there. I had it on a century a week later and really NOTICED how much less rough the expansion gaps etc were and my behind was happier at the end. I liked it so much that I'm setting up my gravel bike too now.

I use a Redshift seatpost on a hardtail MTB. I rode full-sus for 20 years and I can't say it's any less effective. In many ways it's better. Highly recommend.

I've got the stem, seatpost, handlebar without hoop, and the cruise control grips. After riding them for nearly 6 months, I love everything except the lower cruise control grips. I found the texture unpleasant without gloves, and they didn't really add anything to my comfort. They aren't really in the right place and I haven't missed them since I took them off.

Would be cool seeing y’all test coefficient cycling RR handlebars. I really enjoy mine.

Love Redshift, I suffer with Psoriatic Arthritis in my hands, the suspension stem (& to some extent the Cruise Control) have allowed me to keep riding - when I might have been forced to give up my bike. Night & day comfort difference for me commuting on a 75% gravel, 25% road route. Just all around good design.

Redshift makes great products, but one thing from their products I thought you were missing.. Is their Arc light pedals, I have a couple myself. I drive with their pro version for off road driving and they have the best grip for my shoes that I have tried. And with the light on, they help everyone see you, on road and off road.

I have the suspension stem and I like it. I've wanted to buy the seatpost for a while now and I think I will get it with the kitchen sink handlebar. It looks dope.

Got the Kitchen sink bars, the largest size for my commuter bike. So So comfy.

Got the stem for 150€ as deal on amazon. The last 2 months i enjoied it quite a lot.

i used to have a gervin flex stem in the early 90's, ace product

Red shift occurs when a source of light, such as the edge of the universe is moving away from you so it stretches out the light waves increasing the wavelength which shifts visible light to the longer red end of the spectrum. It's similar to the Doppler effect but that's sound waves

I've got those handlebars but the variation minus the middle bit, I got mine in June 2022 and they weren't badly priced, certainly less than £50 and really comfortable.

"What's redshift got to do with cycling?" Redshift is how wavelengths are stretched if the source is moving away from the observer. Basically turns a higher frequency wave into a lower frequency. This is pure conjecture, but I reckon they named the company after that because the suspension seatpost converts higher frequency vibrations into gentle lower frequency vibrations which are much more tolerable. With the seatpost it's the lower natural frequency of the springs which results in lower vibration frequency, not actual redshifting, but Redshift is also just a really cool word.

Looks like you got a pair of pedals. Would like your thoughts on them for commuting

Redshift make great stems and seat posts! Love my stem, just saving my coin for the seat post.

the red shift stem Works excellent on my Trek domane

I wonder if this seat post + my bikes ISO speed means I will be riding a trampoline. I do want this handlebar grips though.

10:19 I was like: "Shyte, RedShift makes dog food too?"

Yeaaaaa Lawrence made an appearance 😂. 10:20

Some of these are answers to things and ideas I and many others have had but they seem to have been made quality

You guys didn't even mention the lighted pedals! I'm on the wait-list for their new SPD versions.

I’m buying those bars for sure. I’m all about the comfort these days.

What’s that camera stabilizing strap you’re using while riding tho 👀

I do want many of these items, but I can't decide if I would rather have the two position seat post or the suspension seat post. It will double the value of my bike - but not too obviously - so hopefully it won't get stolen.

I would love to see how the RedShift ahead and saddle suspenshion compares to Specialized Seat suspension and the Future shock stem. Another problem is more and more bike manufactures their own proprietary Seat posts, cable routing/hiding aheads a bars🤨

There is another wonderful handlebar out there (I think), the Coefficient RR (Road Race) Carbon Handlebar. But it is sooo expensive. RedShift is almost all there and a lot cheaper.

I have redshift aerobars. Really good. There Is only one thing that upsets me. Why haven't they put some adjustment marks. The bars are all black and it is difficult to set the same length and orientation on both bars. Same problem with handlebars when it comes to install shifting hoods...

I had a look at the Cruise Control top grip but the price was far too expensive compared to just replacing my handlebars, especially during sale times. If they were $20-40 Australian, I would have bought them, instead I’ll either get new ergo aluminium handlebars or wait till there’s a similar design for far less

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's a pedant! Redshift is actually the change in frequency of light emitted by a _star_ that you can use to measure how fast it is moving away from you. (Planets would also have a _tiny_ redshift but as they are not stars the emission frequencies are not well defined so can't really be measured)

I really like the look of some of their kit, but do you notice a real difference in fatigue when using their shock stop products? Or a difference in speed or comfort from their aero bar and dual-position seat post?

Whats that taillight mount at 0:48? I assume the mounted light is a garmin varia?

I have a Mini 3 'Pro' Drone, but not as in Professional, but Prosumer. So this could be what they mean by using the word, 'pro'

maybe something interesting to mention on podcast and potential SRAM AXS Eagle bending Hangers. :)

Now I get the two position seat post😏

The red shift or doppler effect applies to any object moving away
