Description

The Salt AM 45 is a top load stem with a short 45mm extension, which makes it a good match for 18 inch bikes or anyone after a short and snappy front end.

It is forged from 6061-T6 alloy with a central bore through the extension to save weight, and uses Salt's Shark Tooth Clamping to hold the bars. Rise is 33mm and it weighs 311g.

Features

Short 45mm extension. The short reach brings the bars back towards you, so the bike steers quicker and feels snappier.
Top load design. Loads from the top, so the bar clamp sits above the steerer for a taller front end.
Thirty three mil rise. The stem adds 33mm of height, so you can lift the bars without changing the bar itself.
Shark Tooth Clamping. Salt's STC teeth bite into the bar for maximum grip, so your bars stay where you set them.
Forged 6061-T6 alloy. Forged alloy with a central bore through the extension, so weight comes out and it still lands at 311g.
