Race Face Atlas 35 stem


DESIGNED AROUND THE 35mm handlebar diameter introduced by Race Face's sister company Easton, the Atlas 35 comes in 35,50 and 65mm lengths.

Our 65mm sample weighed just over 180g - very respectable for such a sturdy stem. Opposing 5mm bolts on the steerer clamp and an interlocking bar clamp design ensure no movement or risk of overtightening. Lovely laser etched details of the Garbanzo Zone at Whistler Bike Park complete the stem and show its intention. The ride feel is very stiff and direct with an alloy bar. With a Race Face SixC carbon bar the direct feel is still there, but with buzz free comfort.

PRICE 122$
