You really can have it all: the silver WCS C220 stem rivals the performance of the revolutionary C260 stem, but is quicker and easier to install and remove, thanks to a snap-on handlebar clamp interface and forward-facing mounts.
First proven on Ritchey's Trail stem, the C220 handlebar clamp design creates a more secure interface by wrapping 220° around the handlebar. Clamping forces are aligned with the clamp so that the stem body "hugs" the handlebar, which is less likely to damage lightweight handlebars. This clamp design makes it possible to lighten the front plate and stem body without sacrificing strength or rigidity.
The stem body is forged from 2014 aluminum for further weight reduction. Premium stainless steel bolts are used throughout.
