What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "This is my favorite stem for short-travel trail bikes. It's light enough for XC but stiff enough for aggressive riding. The ability to flip it for a +6mm or -6mm rise is super underrated for fine-tuning cockpit feel without messing with spacers."Modern short-travel bikes deserve parts that match their versatility, and the Race Face Turbine SL Stem delivers with a lightweight build and flip-flop offset. Designed for bikes with up to 140mm of travel, this stem gives us the choice of a low-slung, aggressive cockpit or a raised front end for confidence on descents—all without adjusting our spacers. The clean flat-top design sits flush in the negative orientation and gives an ideal surface for out-front computer mounts. When flipped, it boosts bar height by 12mm over the negative setting, perfect for a more upright feel or eMTB comfort. Crafted from strong and lightweight 6000-series aluminum, the Turbine SL is tuned for trail performance and backed by a crash-inclusive lifetime warranty.
