You can truly have it all: the WCS C220 stem rivals the performance of the revolutionary C260 stem design, but it's faster and easier to install and remove thanks to a pressure-fit handlebar clamp interface and forward-facing mounting points.
The WCS C22 25D stem offers 25° of positive or negative rise. Proven on Ritchey's Trail stem, the C220 handlebar clamp creates a more secure interface by wrapping 220° around the handlebar. Clamping forces are aligned with the clamp so the stem body "embraces" the handlebar, making it less likely to damage lightweight handlebars. This clamp design allows for a lighter faceplate and stem body without sacrificing strength or stiffness.
The stem body is forged from 2014 aluminum for further weight reduction. Premium CrMo steel bolts are used throughout.
