Full Speed Ahead Gradient Stem

Yes, the Gradient stem is specifically engineered for gravity-focused disciplines, including downhill, enduro, and aggressive trail riding. Its forged and CNC-machined aluminum construction is built to handle the high stresses of technical terrain.

This stem is designed for handlebars with a 35.0mm clamp diameter. Please verify your handlebar diameter before purchasing, as it will not fit standard 31.8mm bars.

The stack height is 35mm. This measurement is important because it dictates how much of your steerer tube is taken up by the stem, which helps you determine if you need additional headset spacers to achieve your preferred handlebar height.

The 6-degree angle can be oriented in either direction. If you mount it with the rise facing up, it provides a slight lift to your cockpit, while flipping it downward creates a more aggressive, lower position.

Yes, the stem utilizes chromoly hardware, which is chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to the vibrations and impacts common in aggressive mountain biking.
