"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I swapped to the XR 1. 5 Stem to get my bars lower without juggling spacers, and the front end instantly felt sharper. The -8° angle gives me that XC-aggressive position, while the broad 4-bolt faceplate grips my carbon bar securely at proper torque. It’s light, stiff, and the T25 hardware is refreshingly serviceable.""We run the Syncros XR 1. 5 Stem when we want a cleaner, lower cockpit for quicker steering on XC trails. The XR 1. 5 Stem puts us in an efficient, race-lean position without a tower of spacers, tightening up front-end feel on climbs and in tight singletrack. 3D-forged AL2014 keeps weight down and stiffness high, the wide 4-bolt faceplate spreads clamping loads, and corrosion-resistant T25 bolts make setup simple. With a 31. 8mm clamp, 1 1/8"" steerer, and lengths from 50–90mm, it dials fit on modern hardtails and short-travel rigs."
