Core Technical Features

• Interlocking Faceplate Geometry:
  Utilizes a 4-bolt U-shaped interlocking handlebar clamp. This design effectively distributes loads away from the bolts, directing stress into the stem body and reducing the risk of broken fasteners.
• Stress Riser Elimination:
  The faceplate is engineered to eliminate sharp edges, protecting your aluminum or carbon handlebars from bending or cracking at the clamp interface.
• Legendary Toughness:
  As part of the Race Face Chester lineup, this stem prioritizes bomb-proof durability over extreme weight savings. Backed by Race Face's Lifetime Warranty, it also includes coverage for crash damage—a rare and valuable feature.

Whether you're tackling rugged trails or pushing your limits on downhill courses, the Race Face Chester 35 Stem delivers the strength, reliability, and performance you need.
