Race Face

Chester 35 Stem

6061 Aluminum is known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it both lightweight and durable. This means that bike components made from this alloy can withstand significant stress while keeping the overall weight of the bike low, which is essential for better performance and handling.

The Four Bolt Interlocking Faceplate design provides superior stability and strength by securely fastening the handlebars to the stem. This design minimizes the risk of the handlebars slipping or moving during rides, ensuring a safer and more controlled cycling experience.

The Clamp Diameter, specified as 35mm in this case, must match the diameter of your handlebars for a secure fit. A proper fit ensures that the handlebars are held firmly in place, which is crucial for maintaining control and safety while riding.

The Steer Tube Diameter, which is 1-1/8 inches here, is essential for compatibility with the stem and the bike's steering system. Ensuring that your stem matches this diameter is vital for smooth steering and overall bike performance.

The Claimed Weight of 5.9 ounces (170 grams) is significant for cyclists who prioritize performance. Lighter components can lead to improved acceleration and easier handling, making your rides more enjoyable and efficient, especially during long distances or competitive cycling.

It is not recommended to use a stem with a different Clamp Diameter or Steer Tube Diameter than what your handlebars and bike frame require. Using incompatible sizes can lead to poor performance, increased risk of failure, and potential safety hazards while riding. Always ensure compatibility for optimal performance.
