Purchased the KINEKT suspension stem to help with wrist - arm fatigue riding on mostly pavement and gravel. My bike does not have suspension forks so this was plan B. I'm a big guy and I'm using the softest spring which provides some vibration damping and improves comfort. I would think this suspension stem would see much greater benefit on a mountain bike or similar for off-road riding on rough terrain. If mountain biking is your thing, suspension forks will work far better having greater damping travel. But lacking suspension forks, the KINEKT is the next best option, although an inferior one. The KINEKT is a quality built mechanical suspension stem. From a value proposition, the KINEKT is a bit overpriced IMHO.

元々はサスペンションつきの自転車を使用していましたが古くなったため新しい自転車を購入。その時に条件の合う自転車が見つからず、最悪サスペンションは後付けできるからとサスペンション無しの自転車を選択。すると当然のようにそれまで気にならなかった道の段差が気になり始めました。そこでサスペンションを付けようとサイズの合う製品を検索したところでサスペンションステムの存在を知り、最終的にこちらの製品を選びました。（購入直後に1万円を切る商品が販売されました）一番弱いスプリングでもしっかり体重をかけないと沈まないくらいで、舗装された道路を安全に走るだけならこれで十分です。可動域はあまり広くはないですが、やはり舗装された道路を安全に走るだけならこれで十分です。サドルを低くして後ろ重心で乗る人はステムではなくサスペンションつきシートポストや柔らかいサドルをおすすめします。前重心で乗る人なら効果を感じられる製品です。追記購入から1年半程して使用開始時の感動が薄れてきた事、当初よりも更に前重心の姿勢で乗るようになった事、何より後から購入した同社のシートポストと比べて段差の衝撃を感じやすかった事からスプリングを1段階上の強さに変更しました。最初から複数のスプリングがセットになっているためこういった調整がしやすいのも嬉しいポイントです。

Put this suspension stem on my gravel bike paired with the redshift top shelf bars. What a great addition. Well worth the cost of this stem. Waiting for my suspension seatpost which should be here tomorrow.

I was skeptical at first and also concerned by possible lateral and undesired movements and play. Also doubius about the actual device ability to absorb any shock.But I was wrong: this thing is amazing. The added confort is real and it completely changes the ride, in a positive way.What I found interesting is that with the original spring and my load, the handlebar is somehow suspended and floating, meaning that shocks are absorded in both direction (upward and downward). This means that when the front wheel goes suddenly down (due to a hole or a step) the shock is partially absorbed before being transfered to the arms. Same as it happens with a suspended fork.

Der Kinekt-Vorbau mit 30°-Neigung ist im montierten Zustand am Fahrradlenker deutlich weniger auffällig, als auf dem Foto oder wenn man ihn in der Hand hält. Ja, das Gerät ist relativ teuer, aber solide konstruiert und für Tourenfahrer mit Starrgabel ein große Erleichterung. Unebenheiten auf Schotter-wegen führen nicht mehr zu dem lästigen Kribbeln in den Händen. Das Mehrgewicht im Vergleich zu einem einfachen, nicht verstellbaren Vorbau spielt für diesen Einsatz nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. (Auf dem Rennrad würde man sich so ein Teil freilich nicht montieren). Ich empfehle den Vorbau und vergebe 5 Sterne schon in optimistischer Erwartung für die Zukunft, weil der von mir getestete Zeitraum noch sehr kurz ist.

I liked that this stem worked as intended. It is expensive but well built and really works at dampening the bumps that impact my hands when bicycling.However, I think the performance dampening kit should come with the stem and not cost you $19 extra. The dampening kit is worth using with the stem. Also, I found the the two Allen bolts that allowed you to fasten the stem to you steering tube need to be of better quality. I rounded mine out assembling the stem to the steering tube and hade to replace them, not expensive to do, but a pain to remove the bolts.

Super durchdacht und in der Wirkung zwar nicht mit einer Federgabel zu vergleichen, aber kein Vergleich zu ohne. 100EUR hätte ich mir noch gefallen lassen, 200 sind zuviel. Ich werde es behalten, die Wirkung ist deutlich spürbar.

I've owned one of these Kinekt spring stems now for about a year, and put a couple thousand miles on it. I love these! I'm about 155 lb, so I had to use the lightest spring they provide, but it's about right. On most paved road bumps I hit now, it rides roughly in the center of its travel - and occasionally bottoms out on the really severe bumps on our lousy Michigan roads. That's about what I'd expect, for suspension tuning for any such bike part. My only (tiny) issue with it is, it seems a little-overdesigned (too heavy) for 'bike weight snobs'. That's ok, they can continue to get their teeth rattled by the rock-hard ride of their bikes :) ...Actually my next step with this will be to drill some lightening holes here and there on the assembly, away from the corners where stress is concentrated of course. Overall, a very worthy and helpful upgrade... even at it's significant price. One last thing - I did order (and return for refund), the similar RedShift polymer suspension stem this month. It just didn't measure up to the Kinekt's pleasant, wide and linear deflection. The RedShift's polymer 'springs' are way too stiff and nonlinear in action. Plus I kind of like the open, techy look of the Kinekt stem. Nice!UPDATE June 2024 - I now have these on three of my bikes (a carbon road bike and two of my e-bikes)... still very happy with them! A few here have been troubled by the small travel of the unit. I do agree it doesn't move a lot; at most there's maybe an inch of travel. But it's constrained by the stringent bending and twist requirements in a steering stem. It simply MUST be super stiff and strong for such loads. Also - IMHO, you get most of the utility from the first 10-15mm of travel in these; they crucially take the 'edge' off the initial jab or jerk of a sudden bump. I've now put thousands of miles on these, with no problems whatsoever. It's the mark of a great design and product, that now I barely notice them - nor the hundreds of jolts my wrists and shoulders used to absorb on each ride.

REDSHIFTのサスペンションステムは支点を中心に首が折れる感じですが、キネクトはハンドル全体が上下動するので、フラットバーハンドルでも15～20mmのトラベルがあります。ノーマルスプリングでは柔らかいので、ハードに変更して使っています。停車状態でハンドルに上から体重掛けると底つきしてしまいますが、走行中では余程の段差でない限り底つきはしません。休日の50～80kmくらいのライドでは手首の疲労度がかなり改善されました。

You will see the exact same pics on the review for the seatpost, these things are awesome! The stem does a fantastic job of taking the sharp edge off of the bumpy sections of the bike trails, it greatly reduces fatigue and the soreness us older folks feel after a long ride. I have put about 45 miles on the stem and it works flawlessly. There is no side to side flex when you jump out of the saddle and crank on it, it is STOUT! I will say this, and it's not a knock in any way, it just is what it is: this component is not light, if you are what we called a "spoke licker" back in the day, this isn't for you. I have the 90mm, 7 degree, and it weighs in at a stout 470g. Not as heavy as a suspension fork, or anywhere near as expensive.I STRONGLY recommend this thing, it is awesome! Now go read my review on the seatpost!

The Kinekt Suspension Stem is excellent. I have a road bike with a flat handlebar. I had a tough case of tennis elbow from riding too much last year, and I was looking for something to lessen the stress my arms take when I saw this thing. I use the heaviest spring, and I took out the little stop between the two end stems to get maximum travel. When I ride along and look down at the stem, it is in CONSTANT motion. This is motion that would otherwise be transmitted directly to my hands, wrists, arms, elbows, and shoulders. This stem absorbs the impacts and greatly lessens the overall stress that I would otherwise take during a ride. This thing is truly revolutionary and worth every penny and gram it costs. In addition to doing a great job, it appears to be solidly built. I don’t expect any issues from it.
