Stiff and compact control with the Gradient Stem’s CNC-forged alloy build
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I love the feel of this stem—tight, responsive, and light without looking fragile. The 33mm length helps my front end feel fast and nimble, especially paired with a wide bar. Whether I’m hitting jumps or picking lines through tech, the Gradient Stem never flinches."
FSA’s Gradient Stem is built for riders who want stiffness, precision, and reliability in a minimalist package. Engineered from 2D forged AL6061 and refined with CNC machining, it’s the kind of stem that delivers unwavering control on the steepest, roughest trails.
With options for both 31.8mm and 35mm bars, plus lengths from 33mm to 50mm, the Gradient Stem offers plenty of cockpit tuning for aggressive riding styles. The +6° rise positions the bar for better leverage and confidence, while the 4-bolt faceplate distributes clamping forces to protect your carbon or alloy handlebars.
Whether you’re building out a race-ready enduro rig or upgrading your trail bike’s front end, the Gradient Stem offers the strength and precision that inspires speed, confidence, and total control.
