"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I swapped to the FL 1. 5 Stem to get the bar lower without spacers, and the bike immediately felt more connected. The 6° flip lets me fine-tune stack, the broad 4-bolt faceplate grips carbon bars securely, and the Torx hardware is confidence-inspiring. It’s light, stiff, and the 3D-forged alloy shrugs off abuse.""We reach for the Syncros FL 1. 5 Stem when we want sharper steering and a lower, racier position. Syncros builds it from 3D-forged AL2014 with a broad four-bolt faceplate to spread clamping loads, so carbon and alloy bars feel locked without over-torquing. The low-stack body and 6° flip design make it easy to micro-adjust cockpit height and reach, whether we’re dialing a trail rig or a fast endurance road bike. A 31. 8mm bar clamp and 1 1/8"" steerer fit keep compatibility simple, while corrosion-resistant T25 bolts and clean machining give it that pro-build finish. At a claimed 135g (70mm), it brings responsive steering without tipping the scale."
