Burgtec Enduro MK3 Stem Black - 35mm - 42.5mm Reach

Product Information

The Burgtec Enduro MK3 35mm Stemwas born out of rider’s demands for precision and for those moments when you have to be inch-perfect. Taking design elements from Burgtec'sWorld Cup-winning Direct Mount MK3 Stemand splicing these with the critically acclaimed Enduro MK2 Stem.

Note: When tightening the bar, make sure every space between the face plates and the main body are equal. Who's this item for: This stem has been designed and tested with the worlds fastest jibbers and sendiest racers. It's a gravity focussed stem that has everything you need to hit all those rowdy racing lines or pull that little bit harder off that big sender. With a rainbow palette of anodised colours, the Race Face Turbine R stem indulges your creative side. Whether you choose to go mild or wild, the sturdy forged and CNC’d body is stiff enough for the widest of bars and burliest of builds and even comes in a stubby 32mm length if you’re looking for a truly direct steering response. The gapless clamp holds bars securely and spreads loads evenly, while the rounded-off edges of the steerer clamp keep the opposing bolts away from your knees. From the start of the design process, it became clear that Burgtec wanted extra rigidity. To yield this, they would need to make the Stem using a forging process, a new thing for them. The result of which allowed them to achieve a more intricate shape than machining alone. It involves applying a huge amount of force to redirect the grain flow of the material. As a result, this gives superior strength, fatigue and impact resistance.Tested with the world’s fastest jibbers and sendiest racers, this stem has everything you need to hit all those rowdy racing lines or pull that little bit harder off that big sender. If you wish to return your bike to us please keep it in the box it arrived in and call us on 01772 644340 and we will arrange a collection. Cutting straight to the chase, the pinstripe and crisp CNC vibe is either your thang or it isn’t. Truth be told, even if it is your thang, it may just simply not suit your bike. The swoopy, candy colour, gloss finish of certain carbon frames doesn’t lend itself to being paired with a chunk of lasered alloy. Stubby stems are now the norm, with anything longer than 50mm rarely seen How we tested the best mountain bike stems

First job is to work out what stems will actually fit on to your bike. You’ll need to know your fork’s steerer size and handlebar diameter.a) If we have sent you the incorrect bicycle, we will cover the cost of collection and delivery of the correct model.

That’s why we have been able to create an excellent working relationship with Burgtec Components, who since 2004 has been designing and manufacturing the very highest quality mountain biking and downhill bike components available on the market. You should always keep proof of postage and we advise you to use a ‘signed for service’ when returning goods.

The Burgtec Enduro MK3 Stem is all you need for hitting the trails with wing suit type accuracy. This Stem was born out of rider’s demands for precision and for those moments when you have to be inch perfect. To be honest I chose my stem (Spank Spike) on some solid armchair engineering. I have seen faceplates fall off from friends' bikes so four bolts for a single faceplate brings some failsafety. I don't quite expect the same from those separated faceplates as featured here. And forging gives a better grain structure than what's left of it after (CNC) machining so Spank (and some other bigger companies) win it there too. Finally, I think the organic shape (based on armchair engineering, mind you) makes more sense to me, how there is more material around the bolt holes to distribute and channel the loads to the where it needs to be transferred (so basically from handlebar to steerer). So in all fairness, this Burgtec stem isn't all that bad. Instead of CNCd out of a single solid billet, it has been machined out of a forging (just like the much appreciated Hope hubs) and the shape makes sense in a way comparable to how the Spank stem makes sense to me. At least more than the more angular Rental stems. But it doesn't win it for me because the Spank stem is cheaper and has a single four bolt faceplate.
