Giant Contact SL

This stem is designed exclusively for 35mm handlebar clamp diameters. Please check your current handlebar specifications before purchasing, as it will not be compatible with older 31.8mm or 25.4mm standards.

Yes, it is built to fit the industry-standard 1-1/8-inch steerer tube found on the vast majority of modern mountain bike forks.

The 35mm standard allows for a larger clamping surface area, which significantly increases cockpit stiffness and steering precision. This results in a more responsive feel, especially when navigating technical or aggressive terrain.

The Giant Contact SL features a fixed 8-degree angle. While you cannot adjust the angle itself, you can flip the stem to run it in either a positive or negative rise orientation to fine-tune your handlebar height.

Yes, it features a removable faceplate, which makes installing your handlebars straightforward and allows you to swap bars without needing to remove your grips or shifters.
