I could be wrong but thought that was a 'known issue' being that they're intended for drop bars and so you'd need to be replicating the hoods/hooks position to bring your weight forward.

I use the eeSilk one on my gravel bike, and have just replaced the elastomer having worn the first out.

Could well be the case. Jones bars with their rearset hand position get zero damping. However, on the loop, it's fairly active.
The Confucius certainly have some movement, but not much. I'm think of Ergon GP3 or more likely the GP4 grips to give a more hoods like position.
They do have MTB bar polymer combination ratings.. I'll play about with this.

Has anyone used the BBB Action stem? https://www.tredz.co.uk/.BBB-ActionStem ... 274025.htm I've only seen one (short term) review online. It's (a lot) cheaper than the Redshift but also about 100g heavier.
