Product Description: Tired of numb, painful hands? The Cruise Control Drop Bar Grip System gives you the ultimate in control and comfort on your road or gravel bike. Instead of riding all day holding a round metal tube, you'll have multiple ergonomic positions designed to eliminate the high pressure zones that have you shaking your hands out every mile. Together, the Top Grip and Drop Grip offer a complete ergonomic upgrade that fits almost any drop bar on the market. So go ahead, take the long way home.
Combine with the Kitchen Sink Handlebar and Really Long Bar Tape to take things to the next level.
Benefits:
• Ergonomic pad shaping eliminates hot spots which can lead to hand pain, numbness and tingling
• Kraton rubber filters road buzz
• Multiple grip options let you customize your handlebar for the perfect fit
Details:
• Top Grips attach to the bar underneath the tape to provide a larger, ergonomic hand position on the tops of your bars.
• Drop Grips go over the end of the bar, giving you a comfortable drop position with quick access to the brake levers.
Compatibility:
• Compatible with standard drop bar handlebars and not compatible with flat handlebars
• Top Grips are installed directly on the bar, before bar tape is applied, so you may need a fresh roll of tape. Did we mention our Really Long Bar Tape works great, especially for wider bars?

Bought this post because of the AWFUL Chicago streets, and I am overjoyed at it's performance. I love that it is adjustable, feels extremely well-made, and enhances the look of my e-bike. Thank you for such a thoughtful product, my butt especially thanks you. Money well spent!

This is a great addition to my gravel bike. It took a few adjustments to get the right elastomers but, it definitely smooths out the ride. Will be purchasing a set for my road bike.

Love the stem!! It really takes out all the worse bumps from your ride, and on rough trails really did offer a smooth comfortable ride.

I hesitated buying this stem wondering would it work, was it a waste of money but I’ve had three off road rides with my new stem and I love it. I usually get pins and needles in my hands after riding for a while but that’s gone now. Added to the comfort is the improved handling on bumpy tracks and roads. I can ride a corrugated road now without feeling like I will get shaken off the bike. Very happy.

I love my Redshift post! I recently had a lumbar contusion and the post has smoothed and cushioned the roads and trails. I’m able to stay on the bike while healing.

After much thought I bought a red shift suspension stem and initial thoughts are that it's good, think they will become standard across all my gravel bikes.

I just finished my first ride with the Resdhift Shockstop Suspension Stem and I noticed the difference immediately. Having ridden for many years with rigid front ends (I’m 64) I now wish I had discovered this earlier in my life. The chatter that it removes from my wrists, arms and shoulders is easily noticed. This experience has been so good that now I’m considering the seatpost Redshift offers as well. The interesting thing for me is that I’ve promoted and sold these products for years based upon input from others. I just didn’t think I needed one myself. Get yourself one! You’ll never go back.

The shock absorber was easy to install and works as described cuts down on the impact. I recommend it if you're going to do gravel, writing and bumpy bumpy roads

Wow, once I got the fit dialed on this seat post I thoroughly understood why everyone was upgrading their set ups with these products. Riding a long distances is what I do for fun and for a living and this seatpost made all the difference in the world. Pay attention to the recommended Sag settings as its key to finding comfort and keeping a proper pedaling extension. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Excellent value, and works great
I bought the "scratch & dent" version of the drop grips, so I will address two things: Buying a scratch & dent product, and also the drop grips themselves. First, buying from the scratch & dent section was an excellent value. Except for the plain packaging, the grips were in perfect shape and came with all the instructions and everything I needed. It was like new. Now, as for the grips themselves, they are awesome. They were easy to get on, and while at first I didn't think I would use them since they are on the end of the bars, I found that my palms rested nicely on the pads even when forward in the drops. They really give you much better control when in the drop position, and I can't imagine going back to plain taped bar ends. I highly recommend these, and I will buy them again if I get a new bike. Great product!
United StatesVery pleased
I am very happy with my purchase. I got both the cruise control grips, the tape and the top shelf bar and am really enjoying them on my bike.
United StatesGrips
Easy install and I love the improved riding comfort.
United StatesSo Much Better!
These are my second set of Cruise Control Bar Grips. I love the broad cushioned hand rest on top of my bars. My hands don't tingle after long rides any more. The grips are quite comfortable, especially when paired with RedShift Really Long Bar Tape. Thank you, RedShift!!
United StatesScratch and Dent trial buy.
I enjoy Redshift products and was looking for another set of cruise control top grips. Found them at discount and all parts and the condition of the product when it arrived was superb. I would definitely consider buying Redshift Scratch & Dent products in the future.
United StatesAwesome endurance accessory
This is my second set of Cruise Control grips. This one went on my PNW Coast bar, my other one is on Salsa Woodchippers. These things are a game changer. A little bit of cushioning, some extra room for my hands, and I can ride for much further without hand numbness or pain. Current record is about 340 miles straight through with zero numbness. I highly recommend them.
