Inspired by our very popular Official stem is our Variant stem which gives you the best of both worlds. Designed to be ran as a top load for that higher feel or upside down for that front load feel. Like the Official stem it is made from 7075T6 alloy for a great strength to weight ratio. Click here to check them out now.

Ryan Guettler has come out of his second shoulder surgery & had this to say…
3 weeks ago was my first shoulder surgery and everything went very well. Yesterday I came out of the sling but on the same day went straight into sugery on my left shoulder. My left shoulder is the one with the 3rd degree separation so they had to put a plate in my shoulder, this made the surgery 8-1/2 hours long. Being out for that long I had a crazy dream, I was dreaming that I was riding and it felt so real that after my surgery was done I thought that I had crashed and was in the hospital for the crash. Also being out for that long when I woke up, my leg was asleep and I couldn’t move my arm. For a split second I thought I was paralysed. It’s pretty crazy going through this right now. I havent had a serious crash in 6 years or so.
