FSA Gradient Stem

Burly and precise steering feel with the Gradient Stem for trail and enduro

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve run the Gradient Stem on multiple builds—it’s confidence-inspiring stiff and super clean looking. I dig the stubby 33mm length for faster handling, and the AL6061 construction means I never have to second-guess it when things get rough. It’s my go-to stem for aggressive bikes."

When it comes to locking in cockpit control, the Gradient Stem is our go-to choice for tough terrain and aggressive lines. Precision CNC-machined from AL6061 aluminum, it blends lightweight performance with serious strength for trail, enduro, and downhill setups.

Available in 33, 45, and 50mm lengths with clamp diameters of 31.8mm or 35mm, it gives us the tools to dial in handling and responsiveness. The 6° rise and short lengths offer direct steering and a compact fit, while the 4-bolt faceplate ensures even clamping and bar security through high-stakes hits. Whether it’s an all-day epic or a lap through the roughest zone on the mountain, the Gradient Stem gives us the solid feel we count on.
