Ritchey Classic Toyon Stem Description:
The Ritchey Classic Toyon stem marries a high end, traditional color and graphics package with modern manufacturing and performance. This lightweight 2014 aluminum alloy stem features a unique C220 handlebar interface, which creates a more secure interface by wrapping a full 220° over the handlebar that both increases the torsional stiffness and clamping security, as well as reducing the chances of damaging super lightweight handlebars. Add in the unique squared off "Toyon" shaping and the classic silver finish and understated laser etched graphics, and the result is a stem will add a touch of classic flair along with impressive strength and performance to a modern bicycle.
Features:
- 3D forged 2014 aluminum construction adds a lot of strength while minimizing weight
- Squared design increases torsional stiffness and improves handling for a more responsive feel, while adding vertical compliance and a smoother ride over the rough stuff
- Secure 220° clamping interface on the handle bar increases the clamping surface area for more grip on the bar without having to over-torque stem bolts, which makes this stem safer for use with superlight alloy and carbon fiber handlebars
- Unique faceplate aligns the bolts in the direction of the wrap around clamp to create a complete wraparound of the clamping force for incredible stiffness and strength while reducing weight
- Includes a matching top cap
