1. Ritchey Comp 4Axis
Pro-level features at a true racer’s price. This 3D mesh-forged 6061 aluminum stem offers a +/- 30-degree stem angle for riders seeking a more comfortable fit. The angled clamp slot for the steerer tube reduces stress on carbon handlebars. • Intended use: MTB • Handlebar clamp: 31.8 mm • Steerer tube diameter: 1 1/8 inches • Angle: 30° • Material type: Aluminum stem • Design: Ahead.
2. Ritchey WCS C220
You can truly have it all - the WCS C220 stem is just as powerful as the revolutionary C260 stem, but thanks to a press-fit handlebar clamp interface and forward-facing hardware, it can be installed and removed more quickly and easily. The C220 handlebar clamp, which was first proven on the Ritchey Trail stem, creates a more secure interface by wrapping around the handlebar a full 220°. The screw forces are directed onto the clamp, allowing the stem body to "hug" the handlebar, making it less prone to damage on lightweight handlebars. This clamp design enables a lighter faceplate and a lighter stem body without sacrificing strength or stiffness. The stem body is made from forged 2014 aluminum for further weight reduction. High-quality stainless steel screws are used throughout. • Intended use: Road bike / Cyclocross • Steerer tube diameter: 1 1/8 inches • Angle (in °): 17° stem • Design: Ahead Mass • Handlebar clamp (mm): 31.8 mm • Material type: Aluminum.
3. Ritchey Potence CLASSIC C220 6° HP Silver
C220 technology with a 220° clamping range around the handlebar. Classic polished finish.
The RITCHEY Classic C220 6° HP Silver stem is as beautiful as it is powerful, combining the classicism of the polished surface with the design, materials, and manufacturing techniques of the latest products.
This stem, branded RITCHEY, benefits from C220 technology with a 220° clamping zone around the handlebar, allowing for an even distribution of stress on the relevant parts.
The weight/stiffness ratio is approximately the same as that of C260 technology, but with the advantage that installation and removal can be done from the front like a standard stem.
And for a unique look for your frame, you can combine this stem from the Classic series with other matching components such as handlebars and seat posts.

4. Ritchey WCS Toyon
The new Ritchey WCS Toyon stem is inspired by the original award-winning Ritchey C220 stem, giving it a more modern shape and higher stiffness for improved handling and responsiveness. The Toyon retains the clamping area of the C220, creating a more secure interface by wrapping around the handlebars a full 220°. The screw forces are directed at the clamp, allowing the body to "hug" the handlebars – a design that is less prone to damage on lightweight handlebars and enables a lighter front plate and stem body without sacrificing strength or stiffness. Built from life and everything that inspires it, the Toyon builds on the proven and celebrated C220 design with a fresh, angular aesthetic that contributes to the overall harmony of modern frame designs – matching its good looks with increased confidence and a livelier feel, wherever your rides may take you.

5. Ritchey WCS Chincane B2
The original Ritchey WCS Chicane stem offers cyclists an innovative design that combines improved aerodynamics with a subtle aesthetic. In response to riders who prefer a more traditional steerer interface, the new WCS Chicane B2 replaces the hidden internal steerer clamp of the original Chicane with a two-bolt steerer clamp. The new Chicane B2 retains the smooth, removable front plate and the elegant aesthetics of its innovative counterpart for a more aerodynamic interface with the handlebars, thereby enhancing drag reduction. Stylish in the front, practical in the back.
6. Ritchey WCS Trail stem, 35.0mm, 55mm, 0°, incl. Ahead cap, flat
The new Ritchey Comp Trail 35 mountain bike stem is designed to accommodate modern MTB handlebars with a diameter of 35 mm, such as the Ritchey Comp Trail Rizer 35. It is available in four lengths ranging from 35 to 65 mm and is made from 6061-T6 aluminum.

7. Ritchey Comp Switch

Furthermore, everything else about this innovative stem is new and designed to discreetly hide cables within the headset and frame. Up to four cables – such as those for the rear brake, shifter, or electronics – are housed in a unique closed channel at the bottom of the stem, which then integrates seamlessly into the Ritchey Logic-E 1.5-inch headset, allowing for a clean cable routing. The Ritchey Switch stem includes a matching compression cap.
8. Ritchey Potence SUPERLOGIC CARBON C260 6°
The RITCHEY Superlogic Carbon C260 6° stem benefits from C260 technology, making it very light yet stiff.
The handlebar is held at an angle of 260° by the stem and the specific T-20 screws that distribute pressure evenly. The curved clamp slot reduces negative effects on the pivot point, and the three screws ensure a perfect grip.
