Madera just dropped this sneak peek of their new topload stem they having cooking down in Florida. Here’s all they released about it so far… Expect more details soon.
“Nothing is in stone yet, but, rumors are:
Just as light as the Profile Push Stem
A nice and tall bar location (taller than the Push?!?) to make your bars sit higher
A reach size somewhere in the middle of most to fit the needs of man.”
There’s two stems that I’ve ever got really excited for that I can remember… The Terrible One Cyclops stem, and the Odyssey Tomahawk stem. Both have similarities, so it’s not that big of a surprise that I love the look of them and have been wanting one since the day I saw one…. Today, Odyssey finally released the Tomahawk!
Here’s a quick run down of the specs…
“Front-load design
Chase Hawk approved
Converging front bolt axes eliminate typical through-hole stresses and improve the stem’s look when flipped
Easily accessible internal clamping system
Forged 6061-T6 aluminum maximizes strength and minimizes waste
53mm reach
9.5mm rise or 22.5mm when flipped
9.4 oz (266g)”

The Merged posted up a few photos of Animal‘s new front and top load stems that will be coming through soon. No other details yet, but this looks promising.
Hit the Shadow Conspiracy website to get a closer look at all the colors you can pick the Ravenger top load stem up in now. If one of those colors don’t match your bike, I don’t know what will.

All I can say is… Want!
“Our Lincoln Stem is available now and here’s a quick promo featuring Gary Young. Him, Aaron, Eric, Jim C and a whole slew of other riders have been running this stem for quite some time now. To get one on your bike, hit up your local shops and favorite mail orders.
Top-load design
Industrial chain link plates create a reinforced top cap hinge, eliminating the need for traditional bolt holes that can weaken the stem body in this area
Angled top cap provides room for interior part configuration and simplifies assembly
Internal clamping system, easily accessed via hole in stem body
Forged 6061-T6 aluminum maximizes strength and minimizes waste
53mm reach
25mm rise or 7mm when flipped

SUNDAY BIKES | FACEBOOK | TWITTER
Sunday sent through some information and photos of their new Freeze stem. This topload stem is made from an aluminum cast body with a 6061-T6 aluminum top cap. The stem features a reach of 52mm, rise of 34mm and a weight of 10.5 oz. Available in black and raw with a super low price tag of $29.99. That’s a hell of a deal.
Worried it’s not a quality product for the price? You can find this stem on all of the 2012 Sunday complete bikes and Alex Magallan, Jim C and Logan Beyhl’s (Full Factory) bikes. They have been running the stem since February of this year and had 0 problems according to Logan. So if you are looking for a new top load stem and you are on a budget, maybe the Freeze stem from Sunday is what you are looking for. Available NOW.
Here’s a look at Brian Foster’s new signature stem from Fit. Not over built, but not weak enough to break. Available in two sizes, 48mm and 51mm reach with colors like black, red, blue and silver for color options. You can pick these up at any shop that carries Fit now. Oh, and I should probably mention that the majority of this video is Brian killing it on his bike. Enjoy!
