ENVE is known for their carbon technology, but they are well-versed in aluminum as well. This alloy stem is forged from lightweight and durable aluminum to help you through any type of mountain ride. It is lighter than most premium aluminum stems on the market and barely any heavier than a carbon stem, complementing its excellent strength. Made to compliment ENVE M-series carbon bars, you can create the perfect front end. The clamp is designed to avoid scratching or damaging the carbon. Bolts are completely hidden to avoid sharp edges and rider danger. The ENVE Alloy Mountain Stem is an affordable alternative to carbon that performs at a very high level.
