We hear it all the time around the world, from prominent directeur sportifs to grassroots athletes we sponsor to bike publication reader polls: when it comes to high-end bike "cockpits," the stem being the heart, Ritchey is considered a top industry leader. The 4-Axis design in the WCS series is one of the most respected in the world. Forged high-grade alloy, precision machined with stainless hardware...we use nothing but the best materials for each stem at each level. This year, our stem offering has expanded to include the WCS 4-Axis Matrix in carbon-alloy with UD carbon exterior fused to the stem structure for enhanced strength and exceptional appearance. Matched with titanium bolts, it IS what all the best dressed bikes will be wearing next year.
