What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I've used the XC 2. 0 Stem on my Spark RC for most of the race season and it's been rock solid. The negative angle lets me stay low in the front, and I really appreciate the consistent stack height when swapping lengths to dial my setup."Whether we're hammering through an XC racecourse or pushing personal bests on local loops, the Syncros XC 2. 0 Stem gives us the control and fit precision we need up front. Designed with the 2021 Scott Spark RC in mind, this stem helps keep our posture aggressive, our handling sharp, and our climbs efficient. Made from AL6061 alloy, the XC 2. 0 is forged and machined for a balance of stiffness, weight savings, and long-term durability. A negative rise delivers that race-tuned drop we need to stay low and fast. Plus, its consistent stack height across all sizes allows for easy length swaps without disrupting bar height. With corrosion-resistant hardware and a closed faceplate for stiffness, it's built to perform from start to finish.
