Riders who feel stretched out or sore on their bike and want a higher, shorter reach.
This black ahead stem has a 60 mm extension and a steep 40 degree rise, which raises your handlebars and pulls them back towards you. The result is a more upright position that takes pressure off wrists, shoulders and lower back.
It clamps a standard 28.6 mm (1 1/8 inch) threadless steerer and holds 31.8 mm handlebars with a four-bolt faceplate, so the bar is easy to fit and clamped evenly.
It is a simple, affordable way to make a hybrid, commuter or older road bike feel more relaxed without changing the frame.
40 degree rise
Lifts the bars for a more upright, comfortable position.
Short 60 mm reach
Brings the bars closer so you are less stretched.
Four-bolt faceplate
Easy bar changes and an even clamp on 31.8 mm bars.
Standard fit
Clamps any 28.6 mm (1 1/8 inch) threadless steerer.
Stem
Great for
Maybe not for
Fits 28.6 mm (1 1/8 inch) threadless steerers and 31.8 mm handlebars. Check you have enough cable and hose length before raising the bars this much.
Check your cables
A 40 degree stem lifts the bars a fair way. Brake and gear cables or hoses can end up too tight, so check them by turning the bars fully both ways before you ride.
Tighten evenly
Tighten the four faceplate bolts a little at a time in a cross pattern so the gap is even top and bottom, then set the steerer bolts to the torque marked on the stem.
