Short stems increase bike control when partnered with wide bars like the Rapidé Rize-R 780 bars by increasing your leverage and reducing the force rocks and roots can exert on the front wheel. Moving your bars back with a shorter stem gives you a better center of gravity on your bike and lets you tackle steeper sections with confidence.

The Rapidé ControlColumn 45mm stem is 3D Forged from AL-6061-T6 alloy, making it light, strong and stiff. Available in a trail taming 45mm length.

Main Features:

  • Bar Clamp Size: Φ31.8

  • Steerer: 1⅛

  • Length 45mm

  • Angle: 0°

  • AL-6061-T6 alloy

  • Weight:122grams

  1. Kim (verified owner) –

    Great stem, very light but it holds without any problems, and the geometry is perfect to get that control over your front end. Best paired with a Rapide Rapid Riser 780mm Bar. Highly Recommended.

  2. MJ (verified owner) –

    Recently fitted the shorter stem with my wider XC flat bars. Feels very comfortable and looks way better than the picture. Bike bling and excellent service from Rapide!

  3. Otto (verified owner) –

    I got this stem for my 10 year old son’s bike (XS 26’er) and it works perfectly! Looks good as well, so I’m considering a bigger frame for myself, with one of these.
    +1. Once again excellent service from Rapide.

  4. Martin (verified owner) –

    The perfect balance between comfort and utility, this is an absolute steal for the price (bought the HighRize 780 + 45mm Stem ControlPack on special). This stem allows me to get my weight back over my rear wheel where it belongs when tackling those daunting drops.

    Excellent service from Rapide. Ordered one day and was on my doorstep the next morning! The shorter stem definitely gives a better riding position with my wider carbon bar, putting me back in a favorable position behind my front wheel for the descents.

    Two things…
    1. The service from Wayne and his team is great. Shipping can not be any better. Thanks and superb!
    2. Try and find a lighter stem on the market – for less than 10 times the price. Not even carbon stems are lighter.

    Thanks guys…next order coming up soon…
