When cycling, there’s not much worse than rough pavement, potholes, cracks, and the vibrations from dirt and gravel roads. Numb hands, sore wrists, tight neck and shoulders! 

We’ve experienced the same aches and pains. So we built on the success of our Kinekt Suspension Seatpost, using the same patented parallelogram design, and created the Kinekt Active Suspension Stem. It smooths out every ride. You get more comfort, better control on your bike, and less fatigue. It’s a total game changer. 

BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP TO BRING THIS REMARKABLE PRODUCT TO MARKET. BE A FAN! GET THE ULTIMATE COMFORT UPGRADE BY SUPPORTING OUR CAMPAIGN!

 
 

 

 

 
 
 
 

It's a great ride. Add a Kinekt Active Suspension Stem to your bike, and you’ll immediately feel the difference. It’s amazing. Our proven parallelogram spring design helps eliminate high frequency vibrations that cause common cycling complaints. You’ll be a lot more comfortable, with less pain and less fatigue when you ride. 

 

Get rid of the OUCH!

Recent studies have shown that these are the most common upper body complaints by cyclists. It was determined that rough roads decrease cycling power, increase stress levels, and even cause lack of control and diminished vision. In fact, vibrations from 1 hour of cycling was found equal to 4 hours of heavy tractor use.* Ouch!

*The Impact of Vibration on Comfort and Bodily Stress While Cycling by John Parkin, PhD and Sainte Cluque, and Influence of Vibration on Work Performance during Ergometer Cycling by Björn Samuelson, Lennart Jorfeldt, and Björn Ahlborg.

 

We’ve taken our tried-and-true Active Suspension System and engineered it to work seamlessly with your handlebars. The Kinekt Stem will smooth out gravel grades, chip seal roads, cracked pavement, and all rough riding surfaces. Our engineers used our patented parallelogram design to deliver vibration isolation. It will keep you both comfortable and in control. You get precise steering for the confidence you want to tame any terrain.

The Kinekt Stem spring system absorbs uncomfortable bumps and jolts and actually improves the way your bike handles. You get a more comfortable ride and better handling, and you DON'T need proprietary damper cartridges, heavy and expensive fork upgrades, or complicated wheel and tire modifications. It's simple and it works!

The Kinekt Stem in action

 Now you can handle all sorts of challenging roads, trails, and terrain with confidence. The Kinekt Active Suspension Stem effectively isolates your body from all sorts of jarring bumps and vibrations, improving comfort, control, and traction. You get 20mm of active travel, and the patented parallelogram design ensures torsional rigidity for optimal control. 

 

In the past, bad roads have reduced the fun

PERFECT FOR:  GRAVEL • E-BIKE • COMMUTER • TANDEM • PERFORMANCE ROAD BIKES

 

Here's the best way to make your riding partners jealous

Engineered for Comfort! 

 
 

 

 
 
 

Bike parts shouldn't be complicated to use--we want every cyclist to enjoy our stem. So we designed it to be super easy to install and adjust. All it takes is a 2.5mm Allen wrench to swap out springs. Every Kinekt Stem comes with three spring options (soft, medium, and firm), so you can quickly tune your ride based on the terrain, your bike, and your preferred riding style. 

 

 

 

 

SPECIFICATIONS 

The Kinekt Stem is designed around a standard 1 ⅛” bicycle steerer tube with a 31.8mm handlebar clamp diameter. Our 7° rise stem is available in three lengths: 90mm, 105mm, and 120mm. Our 30° rise stem comes in a 100mm length. All 4 stems are made with:

  • Lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum

With Kinekt Active Suspension, everyone's a happy rider

Thousands of riders have enjoyed our Kinekt Seatpost. It has proven performance on rough pavement, gravel, dirt roads and trails alike. Like our Seatpost, our new Stem is perfect for gravel, e-bike, commuter, tandem, and performance road cyclists.

 

E-bikes are becoming more and more popular. But e-bikes are often more rigid than other bikes, and can transmit more road shock directly to the rider. The Kinekt Stem helps alleviate this issue.

 

 

 

 
 
The Ultimate Comfort Upgrade for Any Ride

The Kinekt Active Suspension Seatpost has been available for over six years, and cyclists love it! Happy customers have ridden many thousands of miles on our world-renowned Seatpost. We used the same patented design and obsessive engineering to build the Kinekt Stem. When you support our Kickstarter campaign, you can be one of the first riders to enjoy the comfort of our new Stem. You can ALSO pick up one of our Kinekt Suspension Seatposts at a discount. That's the Ultimate Comfort Upgrade!

 

Count all the benefits of a Kinekt Seatpost

 

We've been working on our patented parallelogram design for a long time, and we successfully launched both our original and second generation Kinekt Suspension Seatposts, which riders LOVE. Riding is in our DNA, and making cycling more comfortable is our passion. 

We're happy to tell you more. Our co-founder Paul Barkley was serving in the Peace Corps, riding the rough roads of Uganda day after day. He wanted to improve his endurance so he could travel longer distances. That’s when the idea for our company was born. Using his skills as a bike mechanic, frame designer, fabricator, and bike shop owner, Paul invented a revolutionary seatpost isolation system. It reduced the bumps while he rode, which meant he was more comfortable riding and a lot less tired when he got to his destination.

Our Team assembles every product by hand in Bellingham, WA

Cirrus Cycles Inc, our small company located in the Pacific Northwest, was formed to bring his invention to every rider—and we did that with a successful 2014 Kickstarter campaign, thanks to passionate folks like you. Over the past six years, we've sold tens of thousands of seatposts and gained fans across the globe. But we realized that the seatpost was only half the battle.

That’s why we’ve spent the past few years perfecting our patented technology for the front of the bike. Today, we’re proud to offer a complete vibration isolation system that ups your comfort without sacrificing control or that bike feel you love. Even better, our products work for any type of bike and for any sort of rider.

But it's not just our happy customers--our partners love Kinekt products as well. These companies trust our Seatpost enough to spec it on their own custom products and recommend it to their customers.
