What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I like this stem for riders dialing in aggressive road fits. The 17deg rise lets you flip it for a slammed or upright setup, and the forged 6061-T6 construction feels solid under load. The 4-bolt faceplate keeps the cockpit stiff and secure without adding unnecessary weight."When we're refining cockpit fit for speed or comfort, every millimeter counts. The Seventeen Stem from Profile Design offers clean lines, lightweight performance, and the versatility to run in either a negative or positive position for a -17deg or +17deg rise. Constructed from 3D forged 6061-T6 aluminum, this stem balances strength and low weight for responsive handling. The 4-bolt faceplate increases stiffness and evenly distributes clamping force across the handlebar, enhancing steering precision during hard efforts and fast descents. With lengths ranging from 70mm to 130mm and a 31. 8mm bar clamp diameter, the Seventeen Stem integrates seamlessly into modern road and gravel builds-making it an easy upgrade for riders chasing optimal fit and confident control.
