ZippSL Sprint Carbon Stem(Return to Product Page)

A very stylish stuff carbon stem. Not the lightest stem, but thats the trade off for a robust and stiff construction.

Be careful with the carbon layup. As noted by other reviewers of this stem (on various sites), there is a pattern of blemishes in the carbon layup. The first stem I received had a small bump in the carbon layup on the top side of the stem. Had to get a replacement one shipped out, which was then blemish free. Biketiresdirect was very helpful and responsive in processing the replacement.

This stem looks powerful, feels stiff and amazingly absorbs a lot of vibration. At 120mm length I was happy to have the same feel and confidence in the stem as I did with my 110mm aluminum. Far less elbow and writ numbness with this Zipp carbon stem.

I used on my new Trek Madone 5.2 2013 itwas very smooth comfort!

This is my third Zipp SL Sprint stem. I love the look and stiffness of the stem. The star headed bolts threw for a loop when I first tried to adjust the handlebar position. Great investment for the price.

Looks amazing. Stiffest stem Ive ever ridden. Its clamped to an S-works Aerofly handlebar on a 2018 Specialized Venge Pro. Really helps complete the bike. Im 63 250 and I love the group sprint. Ive had other stemhandlebar combos in the past and none complete the feel of the out of the saddle back and forth sprint line this stem allows you too. Its just good.

Very stiff stem that also manages to dampen road buzz nicely. Looks clean and stealth with the included black bolts. Heavy for a carbon stem, but it was designed to be stiff not light.

Excellent!!! Super stiff!!!

Used these for years. Very reliable

It's really that stiff.
