Answer ATAC AME stem


REINCARNATING A CLASSIC like the ATAC stem was never going to be an easy task, but Answer have done it, and done it pretty damn well.

We tested the 40mm version of the ATAC but there’s a size for just about everyone, with 10mm jumps from30 to 80mm.The two-piece bar clamp is widely spaced to bolster stiffness and uses stainless 4mmAllen bolts to clamp things tightly in place – the same size used on the steerer clamp, so there’s no need to switch tools. On the trail, the ATAC feels plenty stiff enough, with no notable flex even with a 780mm bar installed. There’s even a nice top cap and a couple of spacers included.
