The Deda Newton road stem deserves its reputation around here as the finest stem we've ever ridden or sold: No other stem matches the Newton's balance of lightness, reliability, stiffness, elegance and value. The track version, known simply as the Newton Pista, brings the same qualities to the velodrome. Just like the road version, the Pista is made from CNC-machined 2024-T3 aluminum, and comes equipped with 6Al/4V titanium hardware. It has a stack height of 37mm and weighs 125g.

The Newton Pista comes in a rise of 67 degrees. Think of it as 6 degrees below parallel to the ground -- a negative rise the opposite of you're accustomed to seeing on road bikes. It has a clamp of 31.7mm, making it ideal for use with either of Deda's track bars, the Pista or the Velocita.
