Se Racing has been making good-quality stem for years, thanks to a combination of clever design and high-end materials. This will fit a 1 1/8 ahead fork on most mountain bikes. It fits standard 1-1/8" threadless fork systems with 55mm reach etched wings logo available in 5 anodized colors. The anodized gold color is quality and overall styling of the stem/neck is good. It looks sturdy and well constructed and the test ride goes well.
The stem diameter fits your bike, and the handlebar clamp is the right diameter size for your handlebars. It will fit as long as the size is 1 1/8 steer tube. This is well worth the money and stylish to.
