Product: Standard Bykes – Over Load Stem

March 3, 2015

Are you on the hunt for a new stem but you want something a little unique and different? Have you given Standard’s Over Load stem a look? This stem is CNC machined out of 6061 aluminum right here in the U.S.A with a 48mm reach, 32mm stack height and 20.75mm rise. This stem features a hollowed out bottom section, extra machining on the sides for additional weight savings, a rounded back for a smooth, knee friendly look, solid chromoly bolts and a recessed top for a flush compression cap. This stem is unique because it also features a bottom that replaces the top on your integrated headset! Because it has this feature, it sits like a traditional front load stem due to not having spacers or that cap. The Over Load comes in colors of black, blue, gold and red with a weight of 10 oz. Standard offer custom power coated colors and polished as color options as well, just get in touch with them to make that happen.

The Over Load stem is available through all shops and mail-orders that carry Standard Bykes worldwide now.

You can find out more about Standard Bykes and their products by visiting their website — StandardByke.com.
