"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I like this stem when I want a lower cockpit and sharper front-end response. The negative rise and short stack make my trail bike feel more aggressive without adding weight. Plus, the 4-bolt face plate holds bars securely without over-torquing.""We count on the Syncros XR 2. 0 Stem to deliver precise steering and a dialed cockpit feel for our mountain rides. Built by Scott’s component brand Syncros, this stem uses a negative rise to help us achieve a lower, more aggressive position on technical trails. Forged from lightweight aluminum alloy, the XR 2. 0 balances stiffness, weight, and strength so we don’t have to compromise. The 4-bolt face plate distributes clamping force evenly across the bar, giving us confidence that everything stays locked in place when the trail gets rough. It’s a small upgrade that makes a big difference in control."
