Raised MTB stem

Raised MTB stem

The raised MTB stem is a key component of your bike's steering and comfort. Designed to adjust the angle of your handlebars, it allows for a higher and more comfortable riding position, perfect for long rides, technical trails, or cross-country cycling. By changing the handlebar height, it directly affects your posture, handling, and bike control.

Main features

• Raised angle: Raised MTB stems typically offer an angle between 10° and 35°, allowing riders to sit more upright without compromising steering control.

• Varied lengths: Available from 50 mm to 120 mm, stem length influences reach and steering precision. A shorter stem improves maneuverability, while a longer one stabilizes the bike's trajectory.

• Materials: Aluminum, lightweight alloys, or high-end carbon options provide rigidity, lightness, and durability.

• Compatibility: Designed to fit most MTB handlebars with 31.8 mm or 35 mm diameters and standard or tapered steerer tubes.

Specificities and advantages

1. Ergonomic posture: By raising the handlebars, a raised MTB stem reduces back and shoulder fatigue, making it easier to navigate rough terrain.

2. Steering precision: The stem plays a critical role in bike responsiveness. A properly chosen raised stem ensures optimal control on technical descents and tight turns.

3. Versatility: Ideal for XC, enduro, or trail riding, it adapts to different riding styles, from aggressive to relaxed.

4. Style and customization: Available in various finishes and colors, it can also enhance the aesthetic of your bike, giving it a modern or aggressive look.
