Product Information

That's because it's the rake and the trail which actually makes a bike sharp or slow to steer, not the stem, though you'll certainly notice the difference between a very short or a very long stem. The design prevents uneven tensioning and reduces the number of bolts you need to fix to a precise torque setting, making set-up easier. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just starting out, the Baby Shroom Quill Stem is a must-have Component.

The MTB stem has a slightly narrower, cylindrical neck and open faceplate and that does result in some twist on longer lengths despite being heavier than the Enduro stem. Interestingly while carbon stems are a thing in the road world, very few have dared creep onto the dirt and even then they’ve stayed firmly on the lightweight mountain bikes. The harder you ride the more you’ll realize this is an outstandingly stiff and precise stem that also noticeably quietens bar feel in a way that other lighter stems don’t.They’re available to mimic fashionably short stem reaches and the latest versions extend span from 760 to 780mm.

The 3 degree rise means you can set it to be flat or have it rise up a bit for that more alert position when riding in heavy traffic. If you set everything way back (like a sit-up-and-beg) the steering slows down because you are no longer "on top" of the steerer tube.That might be good to slow down fast steering response and allow for some precision on downhill bikes, but didn't make me happy on my general purpose trail bike.

That’s why our two Pacenti sets are in constant use brightening up the handling of the dullest bikes or taking already awesome bikes to another level.

It’s expensive and needs careful setup but the Apex 35 is top-quality, will easily see years of service, and is a great stem for trail, enduro, and even XC use. It is worth bearing in mind that the manufacturers intended use for a road stem is on the road, and likewise mountain bike components are designed for use on mountain bikes. While a basic cold-forged stem with a bar clamp at one end and a handlebar clamp at the other is all anyone needs, some people like to be different. When I switched to flared bars (On One Midge), I switched to shorter and angled much higher (30 degrees I think) and it works for me. Two lengths are offered and there are nine different colourways to choose from to compliment any bike.
