Ritchey Trail stem


SO GOOD
This basic but neat and tidy forged alloy stem has been designed specifically for modern 5-6in (125-150mm) travel trail bikes. The clamp has been widened compared to previous versions to provide support for bigger bars and has small serrations to make sure they stay put. Our 45mm version weighed a paltry 132g. An ideal entry-level stem if you want to enjoy newer style geometry.

NO GOOD
While it never let us down, we could feel some flex in heavy compressions and didn’t feel confident to attack the biggest terrain. Bolts bigger than 4mm would help keep things secure and tight.

PRICE 50$
