Easton EC90 SL Stem
The EC90 SL Stem is one of the lightest on the market, but that's a pleasant by-product of Easton's design principles. They set out to produce a stem that can handle the rigors of CX and XC racing. And, even after focusing on strength, this sculpted carbon stem just happens to be light enough for ...read more
Easton EA90 Stem
We all want stems that are strong and light. We want them to be durable, and we want them to minimize stress on the handlebar and fork clamped on either end of the stem. Easton addresses all points in their EA90 stem. The most unique feature of the EA90 is the DST technology faceplate. Distributed ...read more
Easton Haven Stem
Here's a bit of all-mountain bike bling that's hard to ignore. The Easton Haven Stem has the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio of any stem Easton's ever produced. That's saying a lot for a label as legendary as Easton.They achieved this by CNC machining away a huge amount extraneous alloy at the ...read more
3T ARX LTD Stem
The 3T ARX LTD stem is a perfect match for any 3T handlebars, but they've also made a nod to the practical by making it perfectly compatible with other manufacturers' bars. This is possible because particular attention has been paid to the design of the clamp. Recognizing that modern steerer tubes ...read more
3T ARX Alloy Stem
The 3T ARX Pro stem is identical in almost every way to the ARX Team stem. In fact there are only 3 differences of note: (1) The ARX Pro uses a steel bolt package instead of the Team's titanium bolts. This results in a net weight difference of 30g, with the ARX Pro weighing in at 150g. (2) ...read more
Zipp Speed Weaponry SL Speed Carbon Stem
Zipp doesn't hesitate to extend their craftiness beyond their signature aerodynamic wheels. This SL Speed Carbon Stem is a prime example of Zipp's quest to reshape bike componentry from bottom to top.

The Zipp Service Course SL Alloy Stem represents groundbreaking territory when it comes to the balance between cost, lightness, and performance. Its 3D forged 7075 aluminum construction is what gives it superb strength and stiffness akin to what you'll find on the standard version of the Service ...read more
Thomson X4 Stem
The Thomson X4 Stem is stronger and lighter than their older Elite stem. A good part of this weight savings comes from the change in design. Where the Elite used an internal wedge clamp, this X4 relies on a more traditional split clamp for the steerer interface. While it meant losing the ...read more
Enve Stem
We always raise an eyebrow when we hear that a stem can be used for either road and mountain, but it would appear that the Enve Stem has managed to pull it off with elegance. With a design so beautiful that it warrants white gloves for handling, the Enve Stem is durable enough for dirt and light ...read more
Easton Havoc Stem
You gotta love that the Easton Havoc Stemis CNC machined from a solid block of aluminum. That's gonna give you some serious steering confidence. But sheer mass alone isn't the Easton modus operandi.

Zipp Speed Weaponry Service Course Stem
When Zipp unveiled their alloy 101 wheelset they quickly learned of the hunger in the marketplace for uber-engineered aluminum components. If it wasn't their hottest-ever product unveiling, it was up there. Given that, up until recently, Zipp worked exclusively with carbon fiber, they were perhaps ...read more
FSA K-Force Light Stem
For some components, 'lightweight' and 'carbon' can be dirty words. In the early 2000's weight-weenie craze, the peloton suffered under the malleable malfeasance of poorly designed, lightweight cockpits. Well, those days are finally past us, in part, because of pristine designs like the FSA ...read more
FSA SL-K Carbon Stem
We keep seeing more and more of the pro peloton reverting back to the tried and true reliability of aluminum stems, and the FSA SL-K Carbon Stem makes a good argument for why. Pairing the latest in alloy forging technology with lightweight carbon fiber, the SL-K Carbon improves on past ...read more
FSA OS-190 Stem

The Twenty6 F1.2 Stem doesn't look like any other stem on the market. The F1.2's sexy looks aren't all for show, however. The innovative clamp design is ultra-strong and knee-friendly. Every gram of unnecessary aluminum has been removed to keep the F1.2's weight as feathery as possible while ...read more
Twenty6 Products F1.5 Stem - 1.5in.
Tired of the mundane forged stems populating Earth? Check out Twenty6's F1.5 Stem. Twenty6 CNC'd the F1.5 to the max for a low profile and developed a trick wedge steerer clamp so you’ll no longer slam your knee against protruding bolts.
Twenty6 Products Stem
We find it easy to like CNC-machined stems. Done right they're light, strong, and good-looking. We like when Twenty6 does it, like the F1.2 and F1.5 stems. These guys ride, invent, modify, improve, sell, improve some more, all in Montana. They started with the F1.2 for 1-1/8" steerers, and also ...read more
Twenty6 Products F1 Direct Mount Stem

Deda Elementi Trentacinque Stem
With its #35 gumball logo on the side, Deda's Trentacinque Stem reminds us of Le Mans and the cars that wrote history there. The thing about Le Mans is that to win is to grind down your competition. The Trentacinque Stem, with its 35mm handlebar clamp diameter, is born out of the same ruggedness ...read more
Deda Elementi Zero100 Stem
The standard Deda Zero100 Stem is identical in nearly every detail to the Zero100 Servizio Corse. It's made with the same ultra-light 2014 aluminum alloy construction and with the same 3D forging to maximize the wall thinness (and thereby shave weight). The only distinction, in fact, is that the ...read more
Deda Elementi Zero1 Stem
With a shape that's reminiscent of their Zero100 stems, the Deda Zero1 Stem carries a few (and we mean just a few) extra grams, yet it's less costly with two stunning glossy finish options unavailable on other Deda stems. Where does the cost savings come in? Deda specs stainless hardware where ...read more
HED Grand Tour Alloy Stem
HED stuck with a tried-and-true, race-proven recipe when it designed the Grand Tour Alloy Stem. Focused around the idea that a stem provides stiffness, strength, and light weight, the GTO is made with aluminum, which is one of the best materials out there to provide all three. The GTO Stem was ...read more
Niner RDO Stem
It's pretty amazing what manufacturers are able to do with aluminum these days. 180 grams used to be lightweight for a stem. Now that would be a pig. And don't think that strength has been sacrificed–these new stems are strong enough to handle anything that modern freeriders can throw at the ...read more
Niner Alloy Stem
With carbon fiber getting all the buzz these days (actually, for about the last 15 years), it's easy to forget just how good aluminum is. It's stiff, lightweight, inexpensive, and best of all, reliable. Especially when you're talking about components like handlebars and stems. The Niner Alloy ...read more
Niner YAWYD Top Cap
Do you ever get about halfway up a climb and feel like your legs are about to give out? Would it help to have a little extra motivation? That picture of your girlfriend won't do it. The recording of your father explaining what a disappointment you are won't help, either. What you need is a ...read more
Profile Design Cobra S Stem
Stronger, lighter, more attractive. The Profile Design Cobra S Stem hits the trifecta. The Cobra S is part of a growing trend -- carbon-wrapped aluminum. They start with a 3-D forged 7050 aluminum stem and wrap carbon-fiber cloth over it and add resin. The result is a great stem that has rigidity of ...read more
Ritchey WCS C-260 Stem
Alloy cockpits are preferred by many riders in the pro peloton because they inspire greater confidence in the event of a crash or impact, despite the slight weight penalties typically associated with alloy. Stiffness and vibration dampening are usually alloy's greatest nemeses, but with ...read more
Ritchey WCS Trail Stem
We can't think of a person whose influence on mountain biking has been further reaching than that of Tom Ritchey. Undeniably, though, mountain bike technology has come a long way since Tom built the first production mountain bikes. However, this isn't to say that Ritchey hasn't played an integral ...read more
Ritchey Superlogic Carbon C260
Single bolts were replaced by two, and then those two moved to the four that brought us up to speed in the world of cycling stems. Well, these clamping interfaces between handlebar and stem have once again been revised, with Ritchey leading the way with its patented new Superlogic Carbon C260 ...read more
Rotor S3x Stem
The Rotor S3x Stem is remarkable enough for its lightness, even more so to know that it passed Germany's most stringent EN 14766 safety standard. In fact, after enduring twice the number of fatigue cycles as required by the certification test, the lab technicians were forced to just turn off ...read more
