It was bound to happen.<\/p>\n
Decades after debuting its first Thudbuster suspension seatpost – and now with two generations and two models of its higher-end eeSilk suspension post – Cane Creek has completed the ensemble with its new eeSilk suspension stem. It certainly bears some similarities to the Redshift Sports ShockStop, but there are also several key differences, too.<\/p>\n
There are two main philosophies when it comes to add-on suspension stems. On the one hand, you have models like the Cirrus Cycles Kinekt, which uses a parallelogram-style linkage that maintains a constant handlebar angle throughout the range of travel, but at the expense of weight, complexity, and bulkiness. More common is the single-pivot approach. Here, the bar angle changes as the stem moves, but the format is much lighter, simpler, and compact.<\/p>\n
Despite faithfully adhering to the parallelogram approach for its range of suspension seatposts, Cane Creek has stuck with a single-pivot design for the new eeSilk stem. There’s up to 20 mm of travel available – just like the ShockStop – although Cane Creek goes about it from a different angle.<\/p>\n
