PNW Components Coast Stem

The Coast Stem is designed for standard 1-1/8 inch steerer tubes, which covers the vast majority of modern mountain and gravel bikes. As long as your fork uses this standard diameter, it will be compatible.

The stem features a detachable mount integrated into the faceplate that is compatible with GoPro-style interfaces for action cameras or headlamps. If you prefer a cleaner look or don't need the extra accessory, you can easily remove the mount without compromising the stem's structural integrity.

A 7-degree rise is a versatile angle that helps optimize your riding position, especially when paired with the wider handlebars common on modern gravel and mountain bikes. It provides a slightly more upright, comfortable posture without sacrificing the aggressive handling needed for technical terrain.

The half-matte, half-polished finish is purely aesthetic and does not require specific maintenance beyond standard cleaning. Like any aluminum component, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after muddy rides to keep the high-shine section looking sharp.

The 38mm stack height is relatively low-profile, which gives you plenty of room to adjust your cockpit height using headset spacers. If you are replacing a stem with a taller stack height, you may need to add a spacer to maintain your current handlebar position.
