VAS Alloy Stem

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I never realized how much vibration my hands and arms absorbed until I installed the FSA VAS Stem. The elastomer system noticeably reduces fatigue on long gravel and endurance road rides, making technical descents and rough pavement feel smoother. Plus, having three different elastomer options allows me to fine-tune the damping to match my riding style. It’s a solid upgrade for anyone looking for more comfort without sacrificing control."

Long rides on mixed terrain demand a cockpit that can handle constant vibration without compromising control. The FSA VAS Stem delivers exactly that, using a polyurethane elastomer system to absorb road chatter and smooth out harsh terrain. Whether we’re tackling washboard gravel, rough tarmac, or endurance road routes, the 360° handlebar isolation reduces fatigue, keeping our hands and arms fresh for the miles ahead.

With three elastomer options included—Comfort (70A), Sport (80A), and Race (90A)—we can customize the damping level to match our riding style and terrain. The keyed clamping interface ensures a secure bar attachment, eliminating unwanted movement while maintaining the stem’s vibration-damping benefits.

Constructed from durable aluminum with a bead-blasted anodized finish, the FSA VAS Stem is lightweight yet strong, making it an essential upgrade for gravel riders and endurance cyclists looking to enhance comfort without compromising performance.
