ENVE launch Mountain Stem

The ENVE brand is synonymous with a few things: black, carbon, strength, quality – those are just a few. They have listened to market demand and released a full-carbon mountain stem, so riders building trail and all-mountain bikes can now make sure their collars and cuffs are matchy-matchy. Non-matched bars and stem, or bar, stem and post, really don’t work for a dream build. A blind eye has been turned by most aesthetes with the use of dropper posts.

The ENVE Mountain Stem has been developed to elevate ENVE stem performance to match that of ENVE’s mountain handlebars and M-Series wheel sets. The ENVE Mountain Stem features a full uni-directional carbon fibre body, cold-forged alloy faceplate, and titanium hardware.  Keeping pace with modern frame geometries the Mountain Stem is available in four sizes starting at 40mm and increasing in 15mm increments to 85mm.  

Shorty Forty

The 85mm stem tips the scales at just 104 gramswhile the 40mm weighs just 85 grams making it the lightest all-mountain stem on the market.

85mm is long these days

“To say that we are excited to launch this product is an understatement.  Of all the products we’ve launched at ENVE, few have been debated and scrutinised as heavily as our new mountain stem.  All the debate and focused development has resulted in a mountain bike specific stem that has reset the bar in terms of strength to weight performance and ride feel on the trail,” stated ENVE Director of Marketing Jake Pantone.  

“Last year we launched the World’s first full carbon fibre direct mount DH stem. This development built the foundation upon which our new mountain stem is founded.  By applying our knowledge of shapes, laminates, molding techniques and materials, we’ve created a stem that isn’t just carbon for carbon’s sake, but carbon for the sake of ride performance,” stated ENVE VP of Engineering Scott Nielson.
