Stem Elite X2

ELITE X2 : 31.8 Road

  • ROAD

The Thomson Elite X2 Stem is an art exhibit of machining expertise with a keyed two bolt front clamp design that is as elegant as it is strong.

DESCRIPTION


X2 is for the rider who understands what it takes to stay up front. Energy wasted in flex is the enemy on a road bike. X2 keeps your energy moving forward.


The Thomson X2 Road stem allows you to realize the benefits of stiffer forks and stiffer 31.8 bars. X2 offers precise steering, tracking, and more control while riding, all wrapped up in a beautiful design.


Certified to: EN 14766 2006 MTB and DIN CERTCO: 2006 MTB


The Thomson X2 features a lighter, 2-bolt handlebar clamp. The interlocking handlebar clamp of the X2 makes is as torsionally strong as other 4-bolt designs, while being lighter and narrower. X2 has a low 36mm stack height. X2 is available in 2 rise options; 10 and 17 degree. Both the 10 and 17 degree stem can be run with a positive or negative rise, and the reversible graphics will be right either direction. 10 degree stems work well for average riders/amateur racers, while those who want a very aggressive aero position or who want a very upright position can use the 17 degree stem to meet their fit needs.

FAQ

Q – Can I flip a Thomson Stem?
A – Yes, X2 is built to be flipped and may be run as a negative or positive 10 or 17 degree rise stem. X2′s logo is reversible.
Q – Will X2 work with 31.7 bars?
A – Yes, 31.8 and 31.7 both refer to 1.250 inch diameter. 1.250 inch converts to 31.75mm. Some people round up to 31.8, some round down to 31.7.
Q – Is X2 safe for carbon fiber?
A – X2 is engineered to work very well with both carbon handlebars and carbon steerer tubes. All torque requirements in our instructions must be followed for carbon components to be used safely.
Q – Why did you change steerer clamps on X2? Were there problems with the old clamp?
A – We changed to save weight. There were no problems with the old clamp but it did add about 20 grams.
