Full Speed Ahead SMR ACR Stem

The SMR (Smart Cable Routing) system allows you to route your shift cables and brake hoses internally through the stem and into the frame. This creates a cleaner, more aerodynamic look by hiding the clutter of wires and hoses typically found at the front of the bike.

Yes, the SMR stem is designed to be compatible with both mechanical and electronic shifting, as well as hydraulic and mechanical braking systems. It is a versatile solution for riders looking to clean up their front end regardless of their specific component group.

You need to ensure your handlebar has a 31.8 mm clamp diameter and your fork's steerer tube is the standard 28.6 mm (1-1/8 inch). Additionally, verify that your frame is designed to accommodate internal cable routing through the headset area.

Absolutely. The stem is constructed from 3D forged and CNC-machined AL6061 alloy, which provides a high strength-to-weight ratio. It is built to handle the stresses of performance riding while maintaining the stiffness required for precise steering.

This stem features a stack height of 33.5 mm. When swapping out your current stem, be sure to measure your existing stack height to determine if you will need to adjust your headset spacers to achieve your preferred fit.

The oil slick finish is a durable coating, but like any anodized or plated component, it should be cleaned with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which could scratch or dull the finish over time.
