Light and stiff in 31.8 mm |
|
|
| The new Syntace stem system applied to the 31.8 mm handlebar clamping dimension. | |
 |
|
 |
|
| Light at 31.8 mm and for the VR-3 test machine still a tough nut to crack - the Syntace Force 119 (int.pat.pend.). | |

If 31.8 mm ...
is being used for the handlebar clamping diameter then the rest
of the stem should be made as stiff and strong. A thicker stem
tube is used, this 31.8mm diameter is kept throughout the stem
to the clamp area. We then leave the steerer tube clamp diameter
31.8 and use a alu bushing to bring it down to 28.6.
Additional benefit: Without reduction shim the Force 119 fit's on every 1 1/4" fork.
Unmatched combination
of new, high-strength and forgeable aluminium alloy and real 3D
forging. The result: The lightest stem, which is simultaneously
bombproof and as stiff as other stems that weight 160g.
Friendly to carbon steerer tubes
Due to the fact that we use a bushing between the stem and the
steerer tube we are able to produce a better clamp area for
carbon steerer tubes. Since the bushing is fully en-closed and
can apply constant pressure the clamp is more secure.
Special 200-degree Head
The F99/26.0’s bar clamp surrounds the bar for 200 degrees,
for greater strength and less flex.
VR-3 approved
according to VR-3 road standard
RC 2002.3, the world‘s toughest test standard for handlebars and stems. |
