The DMR Defy50 stem is the considered choice for your trail, dirt jump or all-mountain bike build. The CNC-machined MTB stem features a low stack height, a top-close clamp design, a 50mm reach, and a 5mm rise. The stem has a wider clamping area that enhances bar stability, and its compact size complements modern mountain bike geometry. For confidence-inspiring riding whatever riding-level you are at, choose a DMR Defy stem every time.
The Defy50 comes with an internal clamping design – this creates a super-clean look, and a rounded-out back end – if you’ve ever banged your knees on your stem bolts, you’ll thank us for the unique design here that tucks everything out of the way.
Also bear in mind, the Defy50 is not designed to be super-lightweight with tiny little bolts or flimsy construction that many MTB stems have these days – our Defy50 stem is built to last and built tough. Bikes that come with a long front centre, slack head angle, and fast-AF geometry will experience noticeable improvements with the DMR Defy stem. Fit it and forget it.
“The low stack height of the Defy stem allows for a lot of adjustment to the stem and bar height, which can be useful if you've cut your steerer tube too short.”
“The 5mm rise is useful for elevating bar height without using stem spacers or a new handlebar.”
