Zipp

SL Sprint Carbon Stem

When it was first unveiled, the peculiar shape of Zipp's SL Sprint Carbon Stem may have seemed a bit out of place when juxtaposed with traditional, tubular models. Now, assymetrical stems like it are common place because the SL Sprint's shaping and unidirectional carbon construction transmit power with efficient confidence in even the most hectic bunch finales. The faceplate and bolts are titanium, which helps keep the stem in the climber's weight category, despite its sprinting pedigree.
