FIT/S&M - BMX Race XLT Stem
S&M Race XLT Stem
The Race XLT is a lightweight top load stem designed for BMX racing, featuring CNC-machined body construction with two-piece cap design for weight reduction. Available in four reach options (49mm, 53mm, 55mm, 57mm) to fine-tune cockpit length. Made in the USA with Grade 8 allen bolt hardware.
Key Features
- CNC-machined body with two-piece cap – Precision machining removes excess material while two-piece cap design reduces weight without compromising clamping strength
- Four reach options in 2-4mm increments – Choose from 49mm, 53mm, 55mm, or 57mm to dial in exact cockpit length for optimal body position and power transfer on the track
- 23.5mm rise / 8.1mm inverted – Moderate rise in standard orientation; can be inverted for lower bar position when needed for aerodynamics or rider preference
- Grade 8 allen bolt hardware – High-strength fasteners provide secure clamping force and resist stripping compared to lower-grade bolts
- Optimized strength-to-weight ratio – Designed to minimize weight for competitive racing without sacrificing structural integrity under gate starts and rhythm section loads
- Top load design – Bar clamps from the top for increased stiffness and easier bar installation compared to front load stems
Technical Specifications
- Style: Top load
- Reach options: 49mm, 53mm, 55mm, 57mm
- Rise: 23.5mm (upright), 8.1mm (inverted)
- Construction: CNC-machined body with two-piece cap
- Hardware: Grade 8 allen bolts
- Weight: 10.2 oz (49mm), 10.5 oz (53mm), 10.9 oz (55mm), 11.2 oz (57mm - estimated based on progression)
- Made in: USA
Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases
Fits integrated and standard headsets with appropriate steerer tube diameter. Compatible with standard 22.2mm (7/8") handlebar clamping diameter. Designed specifically for BMX racing where weight savings and precise fit optimization matter most. The four reach options allow racers to fine-tune front-end length based on frame geometry, gate starting preference, and body dimensions. The 23.5mm rise works well with lower-rise race bars for aerodynamic positioning. Invertible design adds versatility for dialing in exact bar height for optimal power transfer from gate to finish line.
