Description Thomson Elite X4 stem can be used on either road or mountain bikes. Lighter than its predecessor by 30 grams, the X4 stem is also strong. One of the strongest stems in the industry, Thomson stems are used by freeride and downhill riders with confidence. A traditional steerer clamp that is shaped to save you weight also means that it's knee friendly. Precise steering, tracking and more control while riding all wrapped up in a beautiful design. 0° or 10° rise. Fits 31.8 bars only. 171g (110mm).

There is nothing not to like. Thomson is quality, and so is Western Bikeworks. I love the price matching and the excellent customer service. I LOVE this shop and they sell quality products at average prices but always do instant price matching so the deals are great if you use the price matching. They also run really great sales all the time. Though I don't need it for this purchase, the only thing I don't like about Western is their limited return policy.

Sturdy design, great weight, functional well made parts, and price make this a great stem for non-elite XC and all-mountain riding security

I ordered a custom ti mt bike that was to have a 110 vs 100 mm stem and selected Thomson 110 as the product of choice for cost as well as strength. There are less heavy stems out there but this was ideal for me. I have a Thomson setback seat post as well and am happy with that in terms of strength and design. Weight works fine for all mt as well as my sport class XC racing. Bolts, when torqued to settings described do not slip and I fell worry free that they will come apart. I had a really good fall too and the stem was intact and true. Their models also provide different degrees of tilt so you should explore their options. I like this product enough that I am seriously switching to this as well for my road and commuting bike. Bottom line for me- the last bit of my custom bike to be dialed-in was the setback seatpost and a slightly elongated stem. The choices in models available make this a great choice of stems for multiple use.

There are lighter stems out there but not ones that are in the same weight category but still have the same strength. Thomson makes some of the strongest components.
