Hope Mountain Stem
Handlebar placement is crucial for bicycle comfort. Finding a well machined, short stem that raises the bars is difficult. The Hope XC Oversized Mtb Stem does the trick.
We're using this on a road bike and the difference is astounding.
The machining of the stem is outstanding but it is not an inexpensive piece of equipment. It is also a bit heavy - naturally making it out of Titanium would lighten things up but the price would go through the roof.

Best, lightest & strongest
I got the 35mm for Renthal carbon bars on my SS bike.
I love all Hope parts & this doesn't disappoint. It made my bike that much quicker to turn & made for an overall mor comfortable ride.

Useful piece of kit
I bought this stem because I had lower back problems due to the aggressive position on my bike while riding long spins.

OK
Not worth the money better quality stems out there.

Hope stem
I ordered this hope stem in 90mm and gold to replace the gold 50mm stem I had on my bike as I felt a little cramped in the cockpit, it's funny how much difference 40mm makes :0)
My bike now feels like a new bike for the price of a stem and it looks great

Awesome stem.
Made a huge improvement to my Trek 6700 Hard Tail. Not what most would recommend for my bike but for me it's perfect.

Strong and SOO light!
Got a 50mm stem as wanted to push my riding position up and back. This worked beautifully, and the tiny weight of this lump of metal is a wonder! Expensive, though.

Another excellent Hope product
Fitted to my 2012 Cube Acid. What a difference! Would recommend if you're looking to replace a longer stem to improve handling. it's like a new bike. The product? 10/10.

Perfect
I bought this (70mm) to replace a longer Thomson stem. The quality is superb and it is hard to imagine that it could be any lighter.
I received it the day after the order was placed - can't do better than that!

great stem
This is an incredably stiff stem, At 50mm, the 25 degree rise version sits beautifully over the front steering axis and makes the bike feel so much more comfortable than my old 60mm by 10 degree. Massive improvement.

Does what it says on the tin with CNC beauty. Plenty stiff but light weight and brings a bit of red bling to the party!

Great bit of kit
I needed a short stem to stop my back being stretched too much and this one is about as short as you can get. Seems to work very well and has a short rise on it a well. All together a nice piece of engineering.

Well worth the money
The stem is really well made as you would expect of Hope.

Hope 50mm Stem
Very well made and finished item.
Easy to fit and comes with instructions and torque settings. So far the clamping has proven bullet-proof.
Not a cheap stem, but it is one of the best.
I have just replaced the standard screws for blue Ti items.
It looks the part.

2010 hope stem - its a pro bit of kit
I received the new 2010 stem with the new graphics. Hmmm, not sure about the styling with its flames, lines etc. The stem is very good looking and doesn’t really need these visual “improvements”.
Function-wise the stem is great. I didn’t think it would make a difference to my riding, but something definitely feels more solid when heaving on the bar. You can really see where the quality and attention to detail has gone. Everything lines up perfectly with no rough edges making it great for carbon bars. It does feel like it’ll last a really long time.
It’s also terrific that all the torque settings are etched into the stem, therefore avoiding constant references to the fitting instructions.
It comes in exactly the right size, so no compromising the fit.

A stem, but what a stem
People often underestimate the importance of a good stem. When you see one snap, the following blood and screaming puts things in perspective.
A stem stops your steering tube entering your mouth, buy a good one.
this one is good ;-)

Super Stem!
I bought this to replace the cheap junk fitted to my new Haibike Edition RX Pro.
At first i thought it was too expensive, but when it arrived and i saw the amazing finish it was well worth it.
The logos and finishing are top class and the stem fitted perfectly.
(apart from my innneptitude with a torque wrench detroying a bolt or too)....
It feels reassuringly expensive! A top quality part.
It also goes well with a nice new Hope Headset , Head Doctor, Seat Bolt Clamp and Grip doctors....
I love it.

Good work Hope!
Simply does what it states on the tin, but looks great as well!

Lovely bit of kit.
So nice, I had it on display on a shelf for a few days before I fitted it.
MMmmmm shiney

Stem of Beauty
The Hope 70mm 30deg stem is, as an engineer, beautiful to look at and a great piece of engineering. it has also completely transform the handling of my Ginger EX8 as I was told it would by a guy at Gisburn. My bike turns alot quicker and feel alot more confident when going over drop offs Great buy, just a shame not available in white.

This is one seriously nice stem. The machining is top notch and the fit on the steerer tube is perfect! Gorgeous anodising which doesn't look tacky. Comes in many different size/ reach combinations, almost garanteed to have the combo you need. Highly recommended stem!
