Full Speed Ahead SL-K Stem

The SL-K is specifically engineered for mountain biking. Its geometry and construction are optimized to handle the stresses of trail riding, offering a balance between durability and weight.

This stem is compatible with handlebars that have a 31.8 mm clamp diameter, which is a standard size for most modern mountain bikes. Please double-check your handlebar specifications before purchasing.

The four-bolt faceplate provides a secure, even clamping force across the handlebar. When installing, it is best practice to tighten the bolts in an 'X' pattern to ensure consistent pressure and prevent stress points.

This stem features a 12-degree angle. Depending on whether you flip the stem, this will either provide a slight rise for a more upright, comfortable position or a drop for a more aggressive, aerodynamic stance.

Yes, the stem features an anodized black finish. This process creates a hard, corrosion-resistant layer that protects the alloy from the elements and resists scratches better than standard paint.
