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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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
