United – The Purge Stem

1 Comment

Is it time for a new BMX Stem? Here’s a look at the new The Purge stem from United. The stem looks like your regular topload stem, but they’ve actually designed it so the front of the top plate actually touches the bottom of the stem where normally that isn’t something you want to do. They’ve done this to improve clamping and helps ensure that your bars are even. Get the full scoop from United below!

“Everyone knows that resetting your bars is the worst possible thing. It takes forever for your mind to agree that the bars feel how they did before slipping. We wanted to design a stem that clamped tight and evenly at that. We had seen stem bolts snap from a rocky plate and uneven tightening. With the PURGE stem we wanted strength and durability so we went with a fully CNC 6061 Ali block including a CNC’d United graphic on the side. You will notice the clamping system clamps completely shut up front. This is to stop the uneven tightening. Simply tighten the front bolts to lock your bars in place evenly then clamp down on the back to fully secure your bars in place.

The stem comes with a 49mm reach and a 34mm rise. Giving you the option to ditch those ugly headset spacers and tidy up the look of your bike.” – United

Color: Black or Polished.
Material: Full CNC Machined 6061 Alloy
Reach: 49mm
Rise: 34mm

BMX Stem Geometry Explained

Leave a Comment

Are you thinking about picking up a new BMX stem, but you aren’t really sure what all of those measurements really mean? Here’s a video Brant Moore put together going in-depth on the different measurements like reach, rise and stack height, along with a measurement you might not have heard of called extension. Along with that, Brant discusses some of the different features on stems like CNC machining for weight savings and cleaner looks, a wider stem for increased strength, the 1″ OD size that brands like Wethepeople, BSD and Cult have been trying out, the grooves that Flybikes offer on their stems, knurling, etc. Brant also covers solid and hollow bolts, and a few other things. This will definitely help if you are curious what you need to know when it comes to stem geometry and features. Hit play and take it all in!

“BMX stem geometry appears quite simple at first glance, and for all practical applications of stem geometry, it is as simple as it seems.
However, there is more than meets the eye and a lot to talk about in regards to BMX stems and their geometry.

Hopefully this video can help you make an educated decision the next time you’re in the market for a new stem!” – Brant Moore

We’ll keep you posted once we get the full specs, details and more when it drops in March!

Cult – Dakota Roche 1″ OD Bar & Stem

Leave a Comment

It looks like your options for the larger 1″ oversized bars and stems have grown. Wethepeople and BSD have offered the size for about two years now, but it really hasn’t caught on too much. It looks like Cult have decided to give it a shot and have released their new Dakota Roche signature 1″OD Dak Bars and Dak Stem for you to check out. Above is a short promo filled with some heavy clips from Dak you won’t want to miss and below is specs and details on both items. Just remember, if you decide to make the switch to the 1″ OD size, you’ll need BOTH bars and a stem!

First off, let’s explain the size… The traditional BMX bars and stem size works well, but with the way BMX riders have progressed and been sending it on bigger and gnarlier setups (IE: Dak’s video above), the larger diameter gives you increased strength and more stem grab to prevent breaking and resist slipping. This is definitely ideal for the crazier riders out there that have had issues with breaking bars.

DAKOTA ROCHE SIGNATURE DAK 1″ OD STEM

The Dakota Roche signature DAK 1″ OD stem is made from CNC machined 6061 aluminum with a 51mm reach and 32mm rise. The stem has the larger 1″ diameter for clamping with beveled edges, a rounded back, solid chromoly bolts and a recessed top for a flush fork cap. The body of the stem also has an engraved Dak logo. Available in Black only for $64.99 through Cult dealers worldwide and online.

DAKOTA ROCHE SIGNATURE DAK 1″ OD BARS

The Dakota Roche signature Dak bars in the 1″ OD size are made from 100% heat-treated and butted chromoly tubing with a 28″ width, 11-degrees of backsweep and 2-degrees of upswpeep. The bars feature that larger 1″ diameter tubing where the stem clamps, then tapers down to the standard size so they will feel like traditional bars. There’s cult lines on the ends to help trim the bars down if you need to as well.

The Dak 1″ OD bars come in Black and Chrome color with 8.85″ and 9.5″ rise options for $64.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Cult worldwide.

Reminder: You need BOTH a 1″ OD stem and 1″ OD bars. You can’t take your existing bars or stem and match them with the larger size, unless you already have a WTP or BSD stem or bars with that same size.
