SL-K SCR Stem

CNC Machining, or Computer Numerical Control machining, is a process where computers control machine tools to create precise parts. For our stems, this means that the aluminum is shaped with high accuracy, resulting in a product with tight tolerances. This precision ensures that the stem fits perfectly and performs reliably, enhancing your overall riding experience.

3D Forging is a technique that shapes metal using compressive forces in three dimensions. This process not only enhances the strength of the material but also minimizes excess material, making the stem both strong and lightweight. As a result, you get a durable product that can withstand the rigors of cycling without adding unnecessary weight.

2014 Aluminum is a high-strength aluminum alloy that includes copper as its primary alloying element. This specific composition gives it a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to other aluminum alloys. Using 2014 Aluminum in our stems means you get a lightweight component that doesn’t compromise on strength, making it ideal for high-performance cycling.

Chromoly Steel, which contains chromium and molybdenum, is known for its exceptional strength, toughness, and wear resistance. We use Chromoly Steel for the hardware, such as bolts, in our stems because it provides reliable strength without significantly increasing weight. This ensures that your stem remains sturdy and secure during rides.

The face plate is a crucial component of the bicycle stem that connects the handlebars to the stem itself. It is designed to be lightweight yet strong, ensuring a secure attachment. Our face plates are made from carbon fiber, which is renowned for its strength and low weight, helping to reduce the overall weight of the stem while maintaining a firm grip on the handlebars.

The materials used in our stems, such as 2014 Aluminum, Chromoly Steel, and carbon fiber, are specifically chosen for their strength, lightweight properties, and durability. These materials contribute to a more responsive and efficient ride, allowing for better handling and control. By investing in a stem made from these high-quality materials, you enhance your overall cycling performance and enjoyment.
