Race Face Atlas Stem

The 35mm clamp diameter increases the surface area of the handlebar-to-stem interface, which allows for a stiffer, stronger, and lighter overall setup compared to the traditional 31.8mm standard.

While the Atlas 35 is engineered specifically for the rigors of downhill and freeride mountain biking, its lightweight construction makes it a viable option for aggressive trail riders who prioritize durability and stiffness over weight savings.

The 4-bolt interlocking design distributes clamping force more evenly across the handlebar. This reduces stress concentrations, which helps prevent damage to your bars and ensures a more secure, slip-free connection.

No, the Race Face Atlas 35 is designed with a 0-degree rise. This provides a neutral, direct steering feel that is preferred by most gravity and enduro riders.

Steel hardware is significantly more durable and resistant to stripping than alloy alternatives. This choice ensures that you can confidently torque your bolts to spec without worrying about hardware failure during aggressive riding.
