Hope's DH stem is designed meet the demands of this high stress application. The solid billet of 2014 T6 aluminium is machined to create a hugely strong stem, whilst effort has been made to reduce weight. Available in a wide range of colours.

Hope have increased the amount of material in and around the steerer clamp, bar clamp and mid sections and added a 3rd bolt to the steerer clamp. The oversize bar clamp remains with 4 bolts, but with a new design whereby 2 bolts are clamped first as a pair, followed by the second 2, which helps to distribute loads evenly through the bar and decrease stress in this area.
