The 8 Best Front Fork stems (2023 reviews)

It can be really overlooked in face of the increae in comfort and control. It is designed for road bikes which tend to be stiff. The stem fits 31.8 mm handlebars ( shims available for 25.4 mm and 26.0 mm) and comes in a flippable + /-6 degree angle in 80, 90, 110, 110, and 120 mm lengths and a +30 degree angle in a 100 mm length. It's a little heavy compared to plain stems so weight weenies need not apply.

The smallest length available in the ShockStop stem is 90mm, due to the space required for the internal suspension components. The stem works great for taking out the harsh jarring impacts of broken pavement and washboard dirt roads. It takes less than 5 minutes with one allen key wrench to install the Redshift stem once you have inserted the elastomers for your weight.

Best For Bee cool Pathfinder: FOMTOR Front Fork Stem

Buy on Amazon

We would, of course, be remiss if we didn't mention fomtor front fork stem for regular usage. If you're trying to bring the handlebars "closer", this plus different handlebars that are like an inverted moustach will do the trick. Speaking as a tall (6'3") rider, this moves the bars back and up a fair bit. This item is about 5mm thinner in height where it mounts on your stem. It fits on sondors bikes and makes them much more comfortable and reliable.

This threadless stem fits perfectly and is easy to install and adjust. The shorter version will be closer to the post, but if you are trying to achieve a more upright riding position these can also be rotated vertically, so the longer one would actually achieve a more upright position.
