The component design house of ARC8 bicycles - their experience in carbon manufacturing has allowed them to design a really strong stem/handlebar combo that surpasses DH testing standards. Because mtb stems have become shorter with new age geometry bikes we are seeing more weighs to reduce weight of the stem and simplify the interface,
By running the carbon structure through the stem axis, but still placing your hands where a traditional bar would be. You get a massive increase in strength without the necessary weight. The bar is made from one complete mold - the stem back plate is forged from aluminium and the full bar combo weighs in a 240g for 800mm length
- 800m wide
- 15mm rise
- 9º backsweep
- 6º upsweep
- 240g
- 35mm or 50mm stem length
