Road Bike Stems
The stem is an essential part of a road bike. It is mounted on the bike's fork and connects the handlebars to the rest of the road bike. The stem plays a crucial role in determining your riding position on the bike and significantly affects your steering capabilities.
Stems are typically made from durable and lightweight materials, especially carbon and aluminum. In our wide selection, we primarily offer high-quality carbon stems.
Significance of the Stem
Adjustable stems can be customized in terms of length and angle. This allows riders to change the angle of the handlebars to fit perfectly with their body type, height, and inseam length.
In addition to the angle, the stem's length is crucial for comfort during your cycling journey. The correct length, matching your bike and your height and arm length, provides the optimal seating position, particularly for your shoulders and elbows, which can be strained by a stem that is too long or too short.
The stem's angle contributes to your riding style
On a road bike a stem without an angle will often point slightly upwards as the fork's angle concerning the road is rarely perfectly vertical. Therefore, a stem that is "level" and parallel to the ground should have a slight downward angle.
The angle of the stem is essential for determining whether your riding style is generally more comfortable or more aggressive. A stem angled downward will automatically provide a lower and more aerodynamic position. This results in less air resistance, higher speed, and faster times. However, it also leads to a more demanding riding style that puts more strain on your body and carbohydrate stores.
A stem with an "upward" angle, on the other hand, will give you a slightly higher seating position, primarily offering more comfort and relaxation for your shoulders. It is less aggressive and aerodynamic on the road.
In other words, the stem, its length, and angle are significant factors.
