FSA K-Force Light Stem

This hybrid design uses aluminum for structural integrity where it's needed most, while the carbon fiber reduces overall weight and helps dampen road vibration. It gives you the stiffness required for precise steering without the harsh ride quality often associated with pure aluminum stems.

This stem is designed for handlebars with a 31.8mm clamp diameter, which is the industry standard for most modern road and gravel bikes. If your current bars are 31.8mm, this stem will be a direct fit.

A 6-degree angle is a versatile, moderate rise that allows you to fine-tune your cockpit height. Depending on whether you flip the stem up or down, you can achieve a slightly more upright, comfortable position or a more aggressive, aerodynamic race position.

While it is engineered for the demands of competitive road racing, its stiffness and vibration-damping carbon construction make it an excellent choice for gravel riding as well. It is built to handle the rigors of rougher terrain while keeping your cockpit responsive.

The stack height refers to the amount of space the stem occupies on your steerer tube. At 38.5mm, it is a standard measurement, but you should ensure you have enough steerer tube length remaining above your headset to accommodate this height.
