What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: “This stem hits the sweet spot for my trail and all-mountain bikes. At 50mm, it’s stable without feeling sluggish, and the machining makes it super light but bombproof.”We crave control—whether it's floating through flow or fighting through rocks. The 50mm ProTaper MTB Stem gives us the stable, centered ride feel we want for longer days and faster descents. It feels planted in the rough and lets us lean into corners with total confidence. Built from strong and sleek 7-series aluminum, this stem doesn’t flinch when things get rowdy. The extended length adds just enough room to stretch out your cockpit without compromising control. When paired with wide bars and slack geometry, it helps us keep our line sharp, our hands steady, and our rides legendary.
