Ritchey Stems & Parts|RL1 Switch Stem (Black) (31.8mm) (60mm) (-6°)

Ritchey RL1 Switch Stem Description:

The Ritchey RL1 Switch Stem is a durable and stiff stem that is specifically designed as an integral part of Ritchey’s Switch internal cable routing system. 3D forged 6061 aluminum alloy and stainless steel hardware is used in the construction of these stems resulting in a durable, torsionally stiff, and reasonably light stem, and a C220 handlebar clamp wraps around and grips tightly onto lightweight handlebars without having to apply too much torque. A squared exterior profile with rounded corners matches nicely with modern frame shapes and enhances the ride quality and strength of the stem, while the included cable guide helps to pass the cables under the stem and through the rest of the Ritchey Switch system. Finally, several different lengths are available in order to dial in a bicycles comfort and performance.

Features:

• Unique design of stem has room for up to three cables to be run under the stem and through the rest of Ritchey’s switch headset and spacer system (spacers and headset available separately)
• 3D Forged 6061 aluminum alloy and stainless steel bolts create a durable and stiff stem
• C220 4-bolt handlebar clamp evenly distributes clamping pressure and adds torsional stiffness for improved bicycle control
• Two opposing steerer tube clamp bolts evenly distributes pressure, protecting lightweight steerer tubes by requiring less torque to eliminate slipping
• Wide assortment of lengths available to optimize the fit of a bike’s cockpit
