Ritchey WCS Carbon Matrix C220 Stem You really can have it all—the new wcs c 220 stem rivals the performance of the revolutionary c 260 stem design, but it’s quicker & easier to install & remove thanks to a press-fit handlebar clamp interface & forward-facing hardware First proven on the ritchey trail stem, the c 220 handlebar clamp design creates a more secure interface by wrapping a full 220 degrees over the handlebar. Bolt forces are aligned with the clamp so that the stem body ‘embraces’ the handlebar, which is less prone to damaging lightweight bars. This clamp design allows for a lighter faceplate & stem body with no sacrifice in strength or stiffness The Carbon Matrix stem body is forged 7075 aluminum with a stiffness-enhancing carbon exoskeleton which makes this 12% stiffer than the WCS alloy C220 stem. Premium quality crmo steel bolts are used throughout

Features: 4 x 4mm coated Cr Mo steel forward-facing faceplate bolts 2 x 4mm coated Cr Mo steel offset steer tube clamp bolts 5 Nm torque max on all hardware Compatible with all 31.8 bars Press-fit clamp design installs & removes like a standard stem Specifications:
