Zipp SL Sprint Stem

Description

And just to make sure they're still keeping in line with their aerodynamic ethos, the aluminum handlebar cap is shaped to flow smoothly into the stem. Use a Torx instead and you won't face the same risk if you over-torque. They set out to make the stiffest stem while still keeping it light. The Zipp SL Sprint Stem is there to turn big arm brawn into forward momentum. For good reason. One difference you probably see is the bolt heads. Zipp has opted for Torx bolts for a few reasons. The particular size, T25 was chosen because it is seeing increasing use with disc brakes, chain ring bolts, derailleurs, and shifters. It' also on more and more multi-tools and is easy to find in hardware stores. No reason to let that energy go to waste. They won't easily strip, when a Torx bit is used in a torque wrench, they readings are more accurate, and both these things mean that the bolt heads are more durable. The Zipp SL Sprint Stem is massive. With a reasonably light 165g, the stem actually weighs in at 1.8g per Newton meter of stiffness. And just to make sure they're still keeping in line with their aerodynamic ethos, the aluminum handlebar cap is shaped to flow smoothly into the stem. It's a small change from the norm, but in many respects, a big deal. With a reasonably light 165g, the stem actually weighs in at 1.8g per Newton meter of stiffness. And then, if you choose to use a torque wrench, the wrench's readings will be more accurate with the Torx bolt in there.
