ENVE Stem Road Aero Carbon 31.8 mm
ENVE products have experienced a rapid rise in the world of cycling. They have even been tested on the big tours, such as the Tour de France or the Vuelta in Spain. The specialists for carbon from the USA develop for professionals and other dedicated cyclists only the uncompromisingly best attachments.
The air resistance of the body makes up to 90% of the total resistance during cycling. From this, ENVE has recognized that the optimized driving position brings the greatest advantage for the aerodynamics. The lightweight Aero stem allows you to optimally adjust the posture on the bike. Not only are different lengths available, you can also adjust the incline in 3 steps. In addition, a length adjustment of +/- 2.5 mm is possible with the 12 ° sleeve. According to ENVE, the ideal adjustment of the seating position can save up to 30 watts.
Even the shape of the stem was designed in the wind tunnel. The air flow could be made cheaper, for example by the rounded front panel or the smooth side surfaces. Ideally, it will be combined with the ENVE SES Aero handlebar to enjoy all the aerodynamic benefits.
In addition, the stem impresses with its low weight and very good rigidity, which prevents strong twisting even on strong hits.
ENVE are convinced of the quality of their products and offer the first-time buyer a 5-year warranty from the date of purchase. You only have to register on their website.
