DARIMO CARBON stem IX4AL black | -25°
The well-known Darimo IX2AL is the perfect stem for (almost) everyone who loves aluminum stems and still wants to do without every unnecessary gram on the bike. Unfortunately, friends of the Dropbar have not been able to use this stem until now. Now, however, Darimo has come up with the IX4AL and, thanks to a removable front plate, it finally allows the dropbar to be used. You have to look twice to see that the handlebars are held in place by 4 bolts? That was the aim of the developers at Darimo. While sturdy M5 titanium bolts are used in the lower section of the front plate, small, discreet M3 grub screws are used at the top. They blend harmoniously into the chic design of the stem.
At just 60g with a length of 50 mm, this stem is a real flyweight. Anyone who wants to build an ultra-light bike should consider this stem.
But how do the Spaniards manage to produce such a flyweight? The clever minds from Valencia have done a lot of tinkering and save material wherever they can. But of course they also pay attention to safety and rigidity. For the latter, the design plays a particularly important role. The wide front plate increases the stiffness in the clamping area and reduces the surface pressure on the handlebars. The large contact area (24 cm²) makes it stiffer than heavier stems. Ultimately, this stem impresses with its impressive design and will be a real highlight on your bike.
