Description

New Vapour Blast colours arriving in August. 

The DMR Defy35 stem is the perfect 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 35mm reach, and a 25mm rise. The stem has a wide clamping area that enhances bar stability, and its compact length complements modern mountain bike geometry. For confidence-inspiring riding whatever riding-level you are at, choose a DMR Defy stem every time.

Also bear in mind, the Defy35 is not designed to be super-lightweight with tiny little bolts or flimsy construction that many MTB stems have these days – our Defy35 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.

The Defy 35 stem comes in two clamp sizes – select Defy 35 for the option with a 31.8mm handlebar clamp diameter, while the Defy 35+ stem comes with a 35mm bar clamp diameter.

VB stands for Vapour Blast – our exclusive new process which creates an ultra-smooth matte finish, and available in Black, Silver, and Bronze.

Here's what off.road.cc concluded in their review; "The Defy 35+ is an attractive and mega stiff stem from DMR. Its seriously short stack height allows for a huge range of adjustment and its large 6mm Allen bolts up its durability. Combine all of that with a very tidy finish and you’ve got one of the best mountain bike stems you can buy."

"Warning: after you install this stem on your bike, you might forget about it entirely. It won't move, it won't make noise, it won't be damaged in a crash. Its shape won't remind you of its presence... it's perfect. The definition of fit and forget – the Defy Stem!" – Olly Wilkins

MEDIA REVIEW
“The DMR Defy 35 stem's squat stance gives it a purposeful look suited to any trail or enduro bike. The wide clamp locks your bar in a vice-like grip”
