Description
Notes from MyBikeThing
The Race-X-Lite represents Bontrager’s commitment to performance engineering. Precision-forged aluminum construction delivers excellent stiffness while keeping weight competitive at just 162g. What sets this stem apart is its optimal 7-degree rise that provides a refined balance between aerodynamic efficiency and all-day comfort.
Condition
This stem presents in exceptional condition with minimal signs of use. The black anodized finish maintains its luster with only slight discoloration typical of high-end aluminum components. All hardware is original and pristine. Clamp faces are unmarred, and steerer interface shows no wear. All bolts thread smoothly with perfect engagement.
Workshop Wisdom
The Race-X-Lite’s 110mm length with 7-degree rise hits a sweet spot for riders seeking performance positioning without compromising comfort. Pro tip: Before final installation, apply a thin layer of carbon assembly paste on the steerer interface – it prevents slipping while allowing lower torque values, extending the life of both stem and fork.
