The BMX stem market has become a bloodthirsty battleground, with well over 50 players sparring for a piece of a very small pie. Several stem makers offer some really innovative products, but there are plenty of others that are downright silly. Our own contributions to the evolution of the BMX stem have been incremental, but important nevertheless. The removable top cable plate, for instance, was an idea we popularized ten years ago, and now it’s a standard of the industry. Some of our ideas met with less fanfare or success. Today we offer three different stems based on the same proven architecture, and all three bring a different style and technical flavor to the dance.

Splitter
Our newest stem is an evolution of our most popular model, and we think it elevates the beauty of CNC technology to a new level. Lots of facets, holes and a two-piece bar clamp to save weight.
Captain
Morgan Wade’s Signature stem blew the lid off stem design without turning its back on what makes a good stem great. The hole down center is an inspired bit of weight savings, and the super slim profile is an aesthetic homerun.
Landis
This stem is three years old, but it’s still popular among our team riders. Like the other stems in our stable, the Landis is CNC machined from 6061 T-6 aluminum, then bright anodized for extra bling.
