Renthal Apex 31.8 mm Stem 50 mm QQ6D_UUM077

Product details:

Precise engineering and detailed machining set the Renthal Apex Stem apart from its would-be competitors. Everything from the offset steerer tube clamp to the chamfered edges on every part of the stem make the Apex a captivating work of design. This beauty is also a beast, however. Renthal's 240-degree wrap bar clamp is designed to be installed with no gap between the lower clamp and lower faceplate. By utilizing the 240/zero gap design, a stronger interface is created to withstand damaging downward forces visited upon the bottom of the clamp. More of the stem body can be machined away, including creating a larger bore, to save weight, since most of the support is now coming from the lower clamp. Thus, for your all-mountain/trail/enduro-style riding needs, the Apex meets the requirements for strength and weight optimization. Even if the Renthal Apex stem weighed more and wasn't as stiff, you'd probably still want it on your bike because of its looks alone. Lucky you, there's no way to lose with this stem.
