What it is
This is a:
- 6-degree rise stem (angled to adjust handlebar height/position)
- Aluminium construction (AL)
- OS (Oversize) clamp standard, typically for modern MTB handlebars (31.8mm)
Key purpose
A stem like this controls:
- reach (how stretched your position is),
- handlebar height (stack),
- steering responsiveness.
Even small changes in stem length/angle can noticeably affect ride feel.
What “6D” means
- “6D” = 6-degree angle
- Usually gives a slightly raised or neutral bar position depending on orientation
- Common choice for XC and trail setups where balance between comfort and speed is needed
Ride characteristics
With a stem like this you typically get:
- precise steering response,
- stable front-end feel,
- lightweight cockpit setup,
- adaptable riding position.
Shorter stems = quicker steering
Longer stems = more stable, stretched-out feel
OS (Oversize) standard
- Designed for modern MTB handlebars (usually 31.8mm clamp)
- Improves stiffness and reduces flex compared to older standards
Best suited for
- XC mountain bikes
- Trail bikes
