Revolutionary control for enduro riders
Imagine hurtling down a gravelly mountain path, surrounded by towering pines, wind whipping in your face. Your bike feels like an extension of you, every minuscule adjustment of your hands and body being responded to perfectly. Welcome to the experience that the BMB (Be More Bikes) RR (Raised Reversed) stem brings to Enduro riders. Created in Covina, CA, USA, it's an embodiment of American innovation and craftsmanship, designed for those who thirst for adrenaline and control.
To understand its genius, picture this stem as a maestro, directing an orchestra of nuanced bike handling characteristics. It raises your arms to a more commanding angle to the handlebars, so you get to negotiate sharp turns and slopes with less risk of a painful over-bar scenario. Think of it as your insurance policy against some of the gnarliest paths Mother Nature can throw at you.
Moreover, this RR stem has a knack for creating a more interactive bond between you and your bike. It increases and elevates the distance between your hands and feet, providing you with more leverage to tame your metal steed, especially during high-speed maneuvers.
But what really sets this stem apart is its reversed offset. It subdues that unsettling “floppy” feel on slacker bikes, emulating the position of your hands to the front axle as if the head tube angle was six degrees slacker. This results in a lower endo angle, which empowers you to lean into corners more and helps load your side knobs, essentially tightening your turns. And the magic doesn't stop there – at extreme steering angles, it actively resists the front wheel from tucking in and turning your exciting trail ride into an impromptu flying lesson.
Equally impressive is its resilience. Crafted from 7075 T6 Aluminum, it stands up to the trials and tribulations of the most challenging rides while maintaining a weight that doesn't hold you back. Plus, the RR stem accommodates a 35mm bar as standard, but with the included RR Bar Shim, it can be used with a 31.8mm bar too.
Finally, in a touch that merges aesthetics with victory, it's presented in a Race Winning Caramel Gold. This color isn't just about turning heads—it's a visual testament to the endurance and triumph that this stem embodies.
So, here's to the RR stem, a truly groundbreaking piece of kit. It's not just about the ride—it's about the way it lets you connect with your bike, the track, and the wild, untamed world around you. For the thrill-seekers, the boundary pushers, the ones who feel most alive when they're just a hair's breadth away from the edge, this might just be the game-changer you've been looking for.
Pros:
- Enhanced Control: The RR stem's raised and reversed design significantly improves the rider's control, positioning, and maneuverability, particularly during high-speed riding.
- Reduced Risk of Over-Bar Accidents: The RR stem's raised position reduces the risk of going over the bars by providing a better arm angle.
- Optimized Turning Dynamics: The stem's reversed offset enhances cornering dynamics by enabling tighter turns and assisting with side knob load.
- Increased Leverage: By raising and increasing the distance between the rider's hands and feet, the RR stem provides more leverage to maneuver the bike.
- Alleviates Floppiness on Slack Bikes: The stem's reversed offset mitigates the floppy feeling associated with slacker bikes.
- Material and Construction: Made from robust 7075 T6 Aluminum, the stem is built to withstand rugged use.
- Versatile Bar Fit: The stem can fit both a 35mm bar and a 31.8mm bar with the included shim.
Cons:
- Initial Perception: The unconventional design of the RR stem may initially seem unstable or sketchy to some riders.
- Cost: High-end bike components like the RR stem tend to be more expensive, potentially making them a significant investment for some riders.
- Compatibility: The stem's design and raised position may not be compatible with all bikes or suitable for all riding styles.
