Description

The Suntour XC Stem is a classic piece of early MTB design, available here in the ‘long’ 110 mm extension size. In the early days of MTBs, before Shimano’s all-conquering ascendency, Suntour were the best mountain bike specific component maker and they turned their hands to more than just gears and brakes. These ‘XC’ stems offered a decent amount of rise and a choice of extensions in a neat aluminium package, with a shim to convert 22.2 mm bars (as that’s how some used to come) to the 25.4 mm clamp size of the stem.

This one is 110mm long and a 22.2 mm quill for 1″ threaded headsets, it would typically have been specced with a riser bar from Nitto such as the B802. The shape would also work quite well with a flared ‘dirt drop’ bar too, if you can thread it through the clamp!
