Renthal Apex stem


WHILE THEIR COMPACT Duo is aimed at more aggressive riders, Renthal’s new stem is for all types of mountain biker. 

 It’s light enough for XC at 158g (90mm length) but strong and stiff enough to take a 780mm bar. The Apex is available in 10mm increments from 40 to 90mm long, and we’ve been told a 32mm option is coming soon. The body is CNC machined from 2014 aluminium, while the clamps are 7075 aluminium. The stem has a six-degree rise and can be flipped and run upside down – useful if you’re a 29er rider wanting to lower your front end.

PRICE 115$ (all lengths)
