Splitting parts down the middle isn't usually a great way to make them stronger, but Renthal's Duo Stem isn't your usual bike part. Renthal's motocross background gives it a different perspective than most MTB part manufacturers, so maybe the uniqueness of the Duo shouldn't be surprising.

Slap it on your 31. 8mm diameter bars and get to rippin'.
