Hope’s stem range grows from four to five, with the addition of the rather funky-looking 20mm Gravity Stem. The new stem brings the grips closer to the steering axis, whilst providing a more upright riding position for better weight distribution on both wheels.
The stem swaps length for stack, 20mm on the former and 35mm on the latter. Hope have increased the clamp width by 5mm for increased stiffness and with the stem being arranged as it is, the headset cap is integrated into the stem, with the bolt included. Both 31.8 and 35mm clamps are available.
As with all things Hope, the 20mm Gravity Stem is CNC’d in Barnoldswick. This stem coming from a single billet of 2014 T6 alloy. They’re available now for £115.00 at all Hope dealers.
