Reverse Machete D-2 Direct Mount Stem

The Reverse Machete D-2 direct-mount stem is for riders using a dual-crown fork, primarily for downhill and freeride. The body is made from AL6061 aluminium, CNC-machined in Germany, with a 70 mm clamping area and M5 bolts. The design prioritises strength over weight savings: the stem measures 50 mm and weighs 175 g.

The standard clamp diameter is 35 mm. If your bike has a 31.8 mm handlebar, add the optional D-2 shim, which should only be fitted in that case. Choose the finish to suit your bike: the anodising is available in black or silver, so the stem matches the rest of the components.

It makes MTB components, from handlebars to pedals and wheels, and works with the EFBE laboratory to test them, bringing trail experience into product development.
