Product details:
When you really can have it all. The Ritchey Logic World Championship Series (WCS) Carbon C220 stem rivals the performance of the revolutionary C260 stem design. Quicker and easier to install and adjust, the Ritchey WCS carbon C220 features a press-fit handlebar clamp interface and forward-facing hardware compared to the C260's rear facing. The proven, press-fit interface handlebar clamp design creates a more secure fixture by wrapping a full 220-degrees over the handlebar. Bolt forces are aligned with the clamp so that the stem body 'embraces' the handlebar, which is less prone to damaging lightweight bars. This clamp design allows for a lighter faceplate and stem body with no sacrifice in strength or stiffness. Ritchey's Carbon Matrix stem body is forged 7075 aluminium with a stiffness-enhancing carbon exoskeleton which wraps the stem encompassing the riding load which makes the WCS Carbon C220 stem 12% stiffer in comparison to its aluminium counterpart. Premium quality CroMo steel bolts are used throughout.
