Mortop SL stem


MORTOP AREN'T KIDDING with the super light' suffix - our finely machined 70mm sample weighed in under 90g. The four faceplate bolts and two opposed rear bolts are titanium to lose a few more grams.

Short extension options (70 or 90mm) keep it from getting too twisty and there's no ominous creaking so it's potentially a great value choice for XC riders who want to drop weight and speed up their bike's handling. Like any ultra light stem, big riders, big droppers or big bar users should probably steer clear though, because there may not be enough metal here to cope with prolonged abuse.

PRICE 107$
