Thomson Elite X4 DH 40 x 31.8mm 0 1-1/8" MTB Stem Black

Too many modern mountain bike stems sacrifice strength and torsional stiffness for a few grams of saved weight. The Thomson X4 is the leader in strength and stiffness and allows you to realize the benefits of stiffer forks and stiffer 31.8 bars. X4 offers precise steering, tracking, and more control while riding, all wrapped up in a beautiful design. It is stronger and 30 grams lighter than the Thomson Elite 25.4 mountain stem. It features a traditional steerer clamp that is shaped to save weight and to be knee friendly. The X4 stem is one piece of solid 7000 series aluminium extruded billet precision, machined by Thomson in their Macon, Georgia factory. It's built and tested to the same standards as their aerospace parts and is the perfect stem for all-around mountain bike and cyclocross riding. SM-E174.
