The Pride FLT HD 31.8 stem is another ovesized offering from this French brand and is a happy medium between a top load stem, and a front load stem. That crafty Frenchie Renaud Blanc requested the team behind the Pride brand to build him a lower stem. The issue with most front load stems is that when you run them as slammed as possible is that if you lawn dart it into the track and the bike does a barspin, the stem can smash into your frame! Just ask our mate Khalen about this....

But one of its main features is that it is available in 35mm. There are not many options in the 1-1/8th stem market in this short length, so this stem should be at the top of the list if you're looking for a short front end. This lets you run that longer frame with a short stem if this set up is your jam. 

Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium and CNC machined in one piece, the clamping area is 54mm wide meaning that your bars are held nice and tight, and if torqued up correctly, will probably never move. No matter how big the hits are out there on the big SX tracks. Stainless steel M8 bolts are a nice touch too. This is a quality stem.

Bonus, it's available in oil slick!
