Introducing the new Darimo IX2AL stem, the perfect stem for those who love aluminium stems, and of course really light with just 82 grams in 100 mm length. The stem is sculped from a 7075 aluminium block with precision CNC machining process. Each stem needs near to two hours of continuous CNC machining as we want the best surface finish even with its organic and round shape. That shape increases the stiffness/weight ratio. The stem has an integrated faceplate with only 2 closing Ti bolts. This design gives an impressive shape, awesome aesthetics and increases the stiffness at the clamping zone with the handlebar.
Our design is optimized for carbon fiber handlebars. The clamping zone is not divided in two small plates, both bolts are connected, then the surface pressure over the handlebar is reduced.
It’s body shape and a huge contact surface with the handlebar (24 square centimeters) makes it stiffer than heavier stems.
