FSA SL-K Stem

The FSA SL-K stem is designed for a standard 1-1/8-inch steerer tube and a 31.8mm handlebar clamp diameter. As long as your bike uses these industry-standard measurements, it will be compatible.

Yes, because the faceplate is carbon fiber, you should use a torque wrench during installation to ensure you do not exceed the recommended torque settings. This prevents damage to the carbon material while ensuring a secure hold on your handlebars.

The SL-K is built to be versatile. Its 3D forged aluminum construction provides the structural integrity needed for trail riding, while the weight-saving design makes it equally appropriate for road or gravel setups.

The 100mm version of the FSA SL-K stem weighs 141 grams. Keep in mind that the final weight will vary slightly depending on the specific length you choose.

The carbon fiber faceplate helps reduce overall weight while maintaining the stiffness required for responsive steering. It essentially allows the stem to be lighter without compromising the clamping strength needed for your handlebars.
