Saddleback service technician, Rob Borek, gives us his first impressions on the all-new ENVE alloy mountain bike stem.
The ENVE Alloy MTB Stem is a light, incredibly durable stem designed to offer top-shelf performance to cross country, trail, all-mountain, enduro and gravity mountain bike riding.
With a 31.8mm or 35mm handlebar clamp diameter, the stem can be paired with an ENVE M6 or M7 carbon handlebar to offer a complete ENVE cockpit, giving you a stiffer, more race-orientated setup that is ideal for those who favour tight control and a solid front-end feel.
The alloy stem features a ‘no gap faceplate’ that makes for even clamping and secure handlebar retention while reducing the likelihood of sensitive carbon laminates being damaged. Blind bolt holes diminish the number of sharp edges and reduce the risk of catching your knee or snagging clothing.
Despite the brand’s fame for carbon components, ENVE has a long history working with metal due to carbon fibre moulds being machined from aluminium and steel - as well as alloy components such as hubs and stem faceplates.
Cold-forged, then precision-machined, the ENVE Alloy MTB stem reflects the engineering prowess present in all ENVE equipment and sets the benchmark for alloy mountain bike stem performance.
