Stryge Drop Stem

Ensure there are even gaps at the top and bottom between the faceplate and the stem body. Tighten each bolt in a cross pattern, gradually increasing the tension, and tighten to 6Nm.

The Stryge stem uses M5 bolts with a 0.8mm thread pitch and a 18mm threaded section and includes a 1mm washer at the bolt head.

The stack height for the Stryge stem is 40mm.

You need at least a 45mm straight section on the handlebar to fit the Stryge stem.

Yes, structurally you can turn the stem upside down to switch between drop and rise, although it may look unusual.

Which way you want the front end to go. The Drop angles down at -5°, which lowers the bar and puts more weight over the front wheel — the choice for a planted, aggressive position. The Stryge Riser angles up at 7° instead, taking load off your hands and lower back. The Drop is the longer of the two — 55, 75, 85 and 100mm in 31.8mm, or 55, 75 and 100mm in 35mm — against 60 to 80mm and 31.8mm only for the Riser. Both share the 40mm stack height, so what you feel is the angle, not the clamp height.
