Ritchey's revolutionary C220 stem clamp design creates a more secure interface by wrapping a full 220° over the handlebar, allowing for a lighter faceplate and stem body without sacrificing strength or stiffness, and bolt forces are aligned with the clamp so that the stem body "embraces" the handlebar, making it less prone to damaging lightweight bars.

The stem body is forged 2014 aluminum for further weight reduction, and premium quality black stainless steel bolts are used throughout.

Available with an 84º (+/-6°) angle and a polished silver finish.
