Do the 55mm or 70mm ShockStop Stems come in a -6 degree option?Updated 12 days ago
No, the 55mm and 70mm ShockStop Stem lengths are available in the +6 degree orientation only.
We made this decision for two primary reasons:
Compact Design: To keep these shorter stems as compact as possible while still maximizing the space needed for the internal suspension mechanism, we opted for the +6 degree orientation, as this maximizes the volume available for the suspension's travel direction.
Minimal Positional Difference: At such short stem lengths, the difference between a +6 degree and -6 degree angle is minimal in terms of rider position. The resulting rise on the 55mm stem, in particular, is almost negligible because the length is so short.
