The
145 is a full carbon stem utilizing precision forges and machined
aluminum yokes at the steerer and stem clamp areas. Each stem is hand
wrapped from more than 50 pieces of precision cut carbon cloth in order
to ensure that the 145 is as stiff and strong as it is elegant.
Utilizing the same keylock bonding and full enclosure carbon wrapping
technology as the Zipp 300 Crankset, the 45 stem is the stiffest,
strongest all carbon stem available.
The elegant forged
aluminum faceplate is highly polished with a very thin stainless steel
insert to ensure maximum stiffness and durability. Leaving no stone
unturned in our search for quality we ended up in Italy for our
titanium fasteners. The M4 titanium screws are manufactured alongside
those used by Ducati for their racing motorcycle program, and are
guaranteed to be as strong as they are light and elegant.
Available
in both 26.0mm and 31.8mm diameters, the 145 stem weighs between 135
and 150 grams depending on size/diameter and comes with solid carbon
steerer tube top cape and stepdown spacer for 1" steerer tubes. The
stem angle is +/-12 degrees (or 78 degrees)
Diameter = 26.0mm length = 110mm, 120mm
