ZIPP STEM SL SPEED 6° CARBON Stealth
 
LIGHT WEIGHT AND ROCK SOLID
Zipp set a new standard of performance and style in 2013 with the introduction of the carbon SL Sprint stem. In response to demand to expand our offerings to include a light weight ±6° carbon stem, we’re proud to launch the SL Speed Stem. Designed using SRAM Exogram™ technology, found in SRAM RED cranks, the new SL Speed Stem weighs just 123g (100mm) while exceeding our stiffness-to-weight standards (120mm stem=2.0, our standard is >1.75).
The stem weighs in at just 1.8g per newton meter of stiffness. This was achieved by using Sram’s Exogram technology, the same used in the ultra light and strong Sram Red cranks. The stem was designed with feedback from top pros to meet the unrelenting demands of Grand Tour sprinters. Zipp also tapped into expertise gained from its pioneering carbon stems and exhaustively researched the marketplace to create the SL Sprint Stem.
The SL Sprint comes with its own stem cap that’s designed to be aerodynamically efficient by blending into the stem body. Includes stiff aluminium face plate and steel Torx T25 bolts for precise torque readings and ease of adjustment. Zipp chose to use Torx head bolts as they are more robust that hex-head bolts and will not easily strip. Torx fasteners also were designed for use with a torque-limiting wrench (torque wrench), which is needed to achieve the precise torque reading for proper installation.
