Sonder Love Mud Piskie stem


Sonder, and associated outdoor brand Alpkit, are known for top-value, no-nonsense kit and that’s exactly what the Piskie stem is. It only comes in a 31.8mm bar bore and lengths are limited to 35 or 55mm, but that’s the direction most riders are heading in with their cockpit adjustments anyway. The thick-walled, cold-forged body with four-bolt faceplate is plenty stiff even with a wide bar, and that’s impressive because it only weighs 123g in the 35mm length. At $34, with Alpkit’s usual no-questions warranty, it’s a total bargain too.

Price $34
