INSIGHT 22.2mm Stem 1-1/8"

Product Overview

The INSIGHT 22.2mm Stem is a top-load BMX stem designed for riders using standard 22.2mm handlebars and 1-1/8" steerer tube forks. Constructed from forged and CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum, this stem features a single-piece top cap design and four-bolt handlebar clamp for secure bar and steerer tube attachment. Available in three reach lengths, it provides gearing options for cockpit positioning.

Key Features

• Forged and CNC-Machined 6061-T6 Aluminum – Forging process increases material density and strength compared to cast construction, while CNC machining ensures precise tolerances and weight reduction
• 30mm Stack Height – Low steerer tube stack allows for reduced handlebar height and lower cockpit positioning
• Single-Piece Top Cap – Integrated top cap design eliminates separate components and provides clean appearance
• Four 6mm Stem Bolts – Four-bolt handlebar clamp distributes clamping force evenly around bars for secure grip
• 24.18mm Rise – Distance from bar center to stem bottom provides consistent geometry across all reach lengths
• Laser-Etched Graphics – Durable logo application won't peel or fade from impacts or weather exposure
