What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I specced the Syncros AM 2. 0 Stem on my trail build last fall and it's been completely solid through a full season of riding. The integrated external cable guides keep the front end looking clean, and the short 50mm length with the flat 0deg angle puts my bar exactly where I want it for the steep technical stuff I ride most."A trail stem doesn't need to be complicated to be effective. The Syncros AM 2. 0 Stem is built around that idea, a forged and machined AL6061 alloy stem in short, trail-appropriate lengths that puts the handlebar where modern geometry wants it and keeps it there through whatever the trail throws at you. The 0deg rise and 40 to 60mm length options suit the long, low, and slack frames that define current all-mountain riding, and integrated external cable guides manage routing cleanly without extra hardware cluttering the cockpit. The 4-bolt face plate distributes clamping force evenly across the bar, and corrosion-resistant Torx T25 hardware keeps everything tight and serviceable through a full season of hard use.
