Chromag HIFI 35 STEM – black

Description

Chromag HIFI 35 STEM – black

Chromag’s best value stem for 35mm bars.

• Equally robust as our CNC’d stems
• Rounder edges and smoother contours
• More DH/Enduro focused than the HiFi
• 35 mm bar mount
• Light, yet extremely strong
• Structurally optimized CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum
• 4-bolt face plate, 2-bolt steerer clamp.

HIFI35 SPECS:

Process: 3D Forging

Material: Premium 6061 Alloy

Length: 35mm

Rise: 0º

Clamp Size: 35 mm

Steerer: 1 1/8’

Forging is a process in which a lump of raw material called a slug is compressed into a desired shape using tooling in a press. Forging produces extremely strong parts as the grain structure of the metal flows with the shape of the geometry.

Downsides of forging are that it is not as accurate as CNC Machining, therefore some aspects of the part still require machining such as the threads for the screws, and the faces which require high tolerance such as the bar interface or steerer bore.

Forging is generally much quicker than CNC Machining and can produce much less waste if near net forging is used, in whereby the slug is cast to closely resemble the final shape of the part.

Generally, Chromag’s forged parts are less expensive than our CNC Machined parts.
