Zipp SL Speed Stem

Why Is the Zipp SL Speed Stem a Premium Cockpit Choice?

The Zipp SL Speed Stem is a pure carbon performance stem built using SRAM Exogram technology, the same construction method found in SRAM RED cranks, to achieve a weight of just 123g at 100mm while exceeding Zipp's own stiffness-to-weight standards. That means no flex through sprints, no dead feeling in corners, and a cockpit that communicates road feel exactly as your bars and fork intend. The stiff aluminum faceplate distributes clamping force evenly across the bar, and the titanium hardware with Torx T25 heads gives you precise torque readings and easy adjustment without rounded fasteners.

Available in six sizes from 70mm to 120mm, the SL Speed Stem is engineered for road racers and performance-focused cyclists who run Zipp carbon bars or equivalent and want every gram counted in the cockpit. The clean, minimal aesthetic complements integrated or semi-integrated front ends, and the lightweight construction gives mountain climbers and criterium racers alike a meaningful edge where rotational weight and overall weight both matter. If you are building a bike where no component is an afterthought, this stem finishes the front end right.
