DEITY COPPERHEAD STEM
Best lightweight stem for aggressive mountain bikers seeking precise handling.
This is the gold standard for riders who want a cockpit that feels telepathic. By shrinking the reach to a stubby 35mm, it forces your weight back for better handling on steep descents. You sacrifice a bit of stability on long, flat climbs, but the precision in technical terrain is unmatched.
