What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"This stem nails the balance between weight, strength, and clean cockpit setup. The faceplate makes even clamping foolproof, and there's no fear of damaging my carbon bars. A great pick for everything from XC to enduro bikes."The 35 Alloy Mountain Stem delivers the engineering and ride feel ENVE is known for, now in a premium alloy design. Cold-forged then precision machined, it's among the strongest and lightest options for aggressive trail or gravity riders who want confidence through chunky descents and tight corners. No-gap faceplate ensures secure, balanced clamping-especially on carbon handlebars-while the wide 35mm diameter increases front end stiffness. Soft bolt edges keep knees and shorts safe, and the stem's rounded lines integrate perfectly with any modern mountain bike.
