Riders running a 35 millimeter bar reach for the GCS 35mm Stem, built around a matching oversized clamp diameter for a stiffer connection at the front end. A wide clamping area and a zero degree rise keep steering input direct rather than absorbed, and Pembree put the stem through the EFBE Gravity Tri-Test, a third-party standard built for freeride and downhill demands. The body machines from 75% recycled aluminum entirely in the UK, held together with corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I stood up and hauled on the brakes hard into a switchback, and the front end stayed locked instead of loading up under my hands."
