PRIDE FTL Ø31.8mm Oil Slick Stem

The stem Pride Racing FTL HD (Heavy Duty) is the culmination of this French brand's expertise in cockpit design. Built to deliver maximum rigidity, it is specifically engineered to accommodate handlebars of 31.8 mm diameter, a standard that limits twisting during explosive starts and powerful sprints.

Fully CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminium, this Top Load stem features a massive yet hollowed-out design to optimise the weight-to-rigidity ratio. It is the preferred choice for Pro riders who want zero compromise on steering precision.

Can I fit my standard 22.2 mm handlebar on this stem? No, this stem is strictly reserved for handlebars of 31.8 mm diameter (often called "Oversize"). It is a complete system (Stem + Handlebar) that must be consistent.

What is the real advantage of 31.8 mm in Race? The larger the diameter, the less the handlebar will tend to "flex" under load. For powerful riders or larger builds, this translates into a far more direct feel of control and better force transmission.

Is it compatible with carbon forks? Yes, it fits perfectly on any 1-1/8" fork steerer, whether aluminium, chromoly or carbon (respecting the recommended torque settings).
