Description
Forged Salvation Stem
The Forged Salvation Stem is a front-load BMX stem featuring forged construction for increased strength and durability. With a 51mm reach and 32mm rise, it provides moderate forward extension and height suitable for various bar geometries and rider preferences. Solid bolts and a recessed compression bolt deliver clean aesthetics while maintaining secure handlebar and fork steerer clamping.
Key Features
- Forged construction – Forging process aligns the aluminum grain structure for superior strength compared to cast stems, improving resistance to impact and stress cracks
- Solid stem bolts – Non-hollow bolt design increases clamping strength and reduces the risk of bolt failure under high handlebar loads from tricks or impacts
- Recessed compression bolt – Top cap bolt sits flush or below the stem surface for clean appearance and reduced snag risk during bar spins or tricks
- 51mm reach – Moderate forward extension positions bars comfortably without excessive reach; suitable for most rider heights and bar rise combinations
- 32mm rise – Vertical stack height affects overall bar height; works with various bar rises to achieve desired handlebar position

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases
This stem fits BMX forks with compatible steerer tube diameter (verify whether 1-1/8″ threadless or other standard) and handlebars with matching clamp diameter (likely 22.2mm standard BMX bars—confirm specifications before ordering). The 51mm reach and 32mm rise work well with riders using 8″-9.5″ rise bars who want moderate forward positioning. Forged construction makes this suitable for street, park, and trail riding where stem strength is critical during hard landings, bar impacts, and aggressive trick execution. Solid bolts provide additional security for riders concerned about bolt failure. The recessed compression bolt design suits riders who perform bar spins or tricks where a protruding top cap could interfere. Works across various riding disciplines where durability and clean aesthetics are priorities.
