The Renthal Apex stem features a unique clamping system. This allows much of the stem body material to be removed, whilst retaining the strength and stiffness demanded by modern, wide handlebars. The clamps are inserted over the small diameter section of the handlebar and slid into the centre, giving a 240-degree wrap of the handlebar. MTB Stem with an Advanced Construction The construction on the Renthal Apex 31.8mm model comprises a fully CNC machined 2014 aluminium body and 7075 aluminium clamps. An oversize centre bore, extensive 3D machining and external webbing maximise structural strength and stiffness and minimise weight. Continuing Renthal's philosophy of giving you the choice in your set-up, the stem is available in 40, 50, 60 and 70mm lengths. Each of these sizes can be flipped to give either a +/-6-degree of rise. This gives options for riders and bikes of all size, type and style.
The integrated construction eliminates any movement between the grip section and the collars, which could otherwise develop over time. Millions of randomly aligned Kevlar particles are suspended in the base material. As the grip is used, more of these particles are exposed, resisting wear whilst retaining a soft and tacky feel.
Details: The stem is horizontally divided down the centre which allows it to be CNC machined in two pieces. This method allows unrestricted access to the core of the stem which enables weight to be reduced to the absolute minimum without compromising strength. In addition this provides an uninterrupted U shape clamping area, which eliminates the stress risers found on most other clamps which can lead to handlebar failure. For your consideration: Have you considered purchasing the Renthal Fatbar Lite Carbon Handlebars to complete the package?
