Light, stable and withstands the force of the handlebars. If a handlebar stem were to evolve across many generations like nature’s plants and continuously adapt and perfect itself over a very long period of time, then it would probably look like this. The 8OX ltd. is equipped with Titanium screws for clamping the stem to the steerer tube. The pictured SQlab Ahead Cap 1 1/8" and countersunk screw is not included in the scope of delivery.
