Experience unparalleled control and durability with the ControlTech Lynx 6061 A/Head MTB Stem 31.8mm, engineered to meet the demands of trail, all-mountain, and enduro riding. Crafted from lightweight yet robust 6061 aluminium, this stem combines stiffness and strength, delivering precise steering and confident handling on even the most challenging terrain. Its corrosion-resistant anodised finish ensures it maintains a sharp, fresh look ride after ride.
Designed with modern mountain biking geometry in mind, the stubby lengths of 40mm and 50mm perfectly complement today’s long and slack frame designs, keeping your front end low and agile. The zero-rise angle maintains a balanced riding position, especially beneficial for taller 29er trail bikes, allowing you to tackle technical descents and tight corners with ease. The high-quality SCM-435 steel bolts provide reliable security, so you can push your limits without worrying about component failure.
With a 31.8mm clamp diameter that fits all traditional handlebars, the ControlTech Lynx stem offers versatility and compatibility across a wide range of setups. Weighing just 139g for the 40mm option, it strikes an ideal balance between weight savings and durability, making it an excellent upgrade for riders who demand performance without compromise. Whether upgrading your current bike or building a new rig, this stem is an essential component that brings precision and strength to your ride.
Is the ControlTech Lynx stem compatible with carbon handlebars?
Yes, the 31.8mm clamp size fits most traditional handlebars, including many carbon models. However, always check the manufacturer’s guidelines for torque settings to avoid damage.
What makes the SCM-435 steel hardware special?
SCM-435 steel is known for its high strength and toughness, providing enduro-ready durability that withstands the rigors of aggressive mountain biking.
Can I use this stem on a road bike?
While it is designed primarily for MTB disciplines like trail and enduro, it can be used on road bikes that accept a 31.8mm clamp diameter and require a zero-rise stem, but it might not suit road-specific geometry preferences.
Where can I find other ControlTech components compatible with this stem?
