Energy Stem

CNC Machining, or Computer Numerical Control machining, is a manufacturing process where computers control machine tools to create precise parts. For the Energy Stem, this means that the design can be refined to ensure it is both lightweight and strong, providing optimal performance for cyclists.

An anodized finish is an electrochemical process that enhances the metal surface, making it decorative, durable, and corrosion-resistant. The black polished anodized finish on the Energy Stem not only improves its appearance but also protects it from wear and tear, ensuring longevity during road and gravel cycling.

Semi-integrated cable routing is a design feature where the cables for the bike's brakes and gears are partially routed through the stem. This design reduces wind resistance, providing aerodynamic advantages, and gives the bike a cleaner, more streamlined look, enhancing both performance and aesthetics.

The claimed weight of the Energy Stem is 4oz (113g), which is significant because lighter components can improve a bike's performance, especially in road cycling and gravel riding. A lighter stem can lead to better speed, handling, and overall riding experience.

The stack height of a stem refers to its vertical height, which in this case is 40mm. This measurement influences the overall fit and comfort of your bike by affecting the handlebar position. A proper stack height can enhance your posture and control while riding, making it crucial for an enjoyable cycling experience.

The Energy Stem is designed with features like CNC machining for strength, an anodized finish for durability, and semi-integrated cable routing for aerodynamics. These attributes make it versatile and suitable for both road and gravel cycling, ensuring it can withstand various terrains while providing optimal performance.
