Handlebar stem
Unlike handlebars, there is no magic formula to help you ascertain the correct length of the handlebar stem. The only way to accurately determine this is to book a professional bike fitting or visit one of our showrooms. Given the general trend of female riders being shorter in the torso and long in the leg, we find that a shorter stem length works better.
The average male rider will normally opt for a stem length of between 90 and 120mm. Whereas a stem length in the region of 70-90mm is better suited to the female rider. Broadly speaking, the smaller the size of the frame, the shorter the stem should become.
When you select a frame size on our website the handlebar and stem lengths will default to our recommended size for that particular size. However, should you then change the size, these will decrease or increase correspondingly. You then have the option to amend these manually by clicking on 'customise bike'.
