Spank Split

The chamfered edges are designed to eliminate sharp contact points where the stem meets the handlebar. This reduces stress risers, which helps prevent premature fatigue and cracking in your handlebars over time.

The Spank Split is designed for a standard 28.6mm (1 1/8 inch) steerer tube, which is the industry standard for the vast majority of modern mountain bikes.

No, this specific model is built exclusively for 35.0mm diameter handlebars. You would need to use a different stem or upgrade your handlebars to match this clamp size.

The Human Factor index provides visual markings on the stem that help you precisely align and tune your handlebar sweep angles. It makes it easier to achieve a consistent, ergonomic setup every time you adjust your cockpit.

While it is engineered for enduro, a 40mm length is quite short and aggressive. It will make your steering feel very quick and responsive, which is great for technical trails but might feel twitchy if you are used to a longer, more stable stem for cross-country riding.

Not at all. This finish is chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it very low-maintenance. You can clean it just like the rest of your bike frame using standard bike wash and water.
