Trident Stem

No, the Trident Stem is designed specifically for 22.2mm handlebars, which are standard for BMX and dirt jump setups. It will not fit the 31.8mm or 35mm bars commonly found on trail or enduro mountain bikes.

A top load stem positions the handlebars higher than a front load stem, giving you a taller front end. This setup is generally preferred for riders who want more leverage for manuals and bunny hops, or simply prefer a more upright riding position.

While it creates a sleek, flush aesthetic, the recessed cut-out also serves a functional purpose by allowing the fork cap bolt to sit lower. This creates a cleaner profile that is less likely to snag on your knees or gear during aggressive riding.

Yes. Because it is fully CNC machined from aluminum, it is built to handle the repeated impacts and stresses of street, park, and dirt riding without adding unnecessary weight.

You will need a 6mm hex key to tighten the bolts. We recommend using a torque wrench to ensure the bolts are tightened evenly to prevent slippage and avoid damaging the stem or your handlebars.
