Is the Syncros XC 2.0 Stem the right choice for your XC race bike or downcountry build?

The Syncros XC 2.0 Stem is built for cross-country racers and downcountry riders who want a low, aggressive handlebar position without overhauling their entire cockpit. Designed alongside the SCOTT Spark RC, the XC 2.0 uses a low stack height and progressively-tuned negative rise across the length range, so the stack stays consistent at any size while the reach changes to match your fit. The forged and machined AL6061 aluminum body delivers the strength and stiffness you want under hard sprints and steep descents without the weight penalty of overbuilt alternatives.

A closed-type face plate gives the cockpit a clean, integrated look and works with any 31.8mm handlebar, and corrosion-resistant Torx T25 steel bolts hold up to long-term sweat and weather exposure. The stem ships complete with its top cap and bolt, so the install is plug-and-play. Available in 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90mm lengths, each with its own engineered angle to maintain the stack across the size range.
