What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I spec the PRO FRS Direct Mount Stem on builds where the rider wants a clean, stiff front end without a lot of extra hardware cluttering the cockpit. The Headlock front clamp system is secure and easy to work with during fit adjustments, and the AL-7075 CNC construction gives the stem a precision feel and stiffness that you notice immediately when putting power through the bars."The stem is the mechanical link between your effort and your front wheel, and the PRO FRS Direct Mount Stem is built to make that connection as direct and precise as possible. Machined from AL-7075 alloy and fully CNC processed, it brings a level of construction quality and stiffness to the cockpit that riders notice from the first hard effort out of the saddle. The direct mount design eliminates the steerer tube interface of a traditional stem, integrating cleanly with compatible direct mount forks for a stiffer and more responsive front end. The Headlock front clamp system secures a 31. 8mm handlebar with confidence, and at 172 grams the stem keeps the cockpit light without compromising the structural integrity a performance road build demands.
