Point 1 Racing has showed on Interbike their new adjustable DM stem,the realy cool thing about this DM stem is that it uses a rotating cam insert that allow the rider to adjust their reach adjustment & height by only rotating the cam insert.

It's adjustable between 47,5mm & 57,5mm but it also can adjust the bar height from +2mm about the topcrown to -8mm below the topcrown,this means the rider can setup their bars to their own prefrence

Adjustments:

■Reach 47.5mm to 57.5mm
■Height +2mm about the topcrown to -8mm below the topcrown

Weight:
■132g claimed

Colors:
■Anodized Black
■White Powdercoat

Super bloody cool, but I wonder how many assclowns are going to end up with funny angled bars because the cams aren't lined up.

I know that would be tricky to do, but never doubt the ability of a rider to F something up.

I like the idea of off-center mounting system, buy will probably need more cleaning...

looks interesting, yet quite frail. Not entirely sure that people actually notice 2 mm of difference either, the placebo effect can be great though

I did not get to see this at the show, even though I heard about it.

I will say one thing, the people at Point 1 are such nice guys, that love what they do, ride bikes and keep it american!

I agree but maybe there will be lazer etched marks on the sides to line the two pieces up

how is the cam rotated? just by spinning it with your fingers?

Uh, it's 10mm. Also known as 1 centimeter.

pimp-a-licious!!! those are sweet!!!

Yes as the good man explained it in that vid how the cam system works,pick the rigth setting and your'e done.That's the beauty of this stem that sets appart from the other DM stems on the market.

Looks great but its not totally fresh - Manitou did this with the clamps on the Travis and it was pretty nice to have! This looks to offer much more adjustment though.

Marzocchi had similar shims for years with their DM stems.

that was just used to convert the 31.8 to 25.4

 

[descente]

its a cool idea, but i for see creaky handlebars and lots of cleaning. i'm not that anal about how my bike is setup, but its cool to see how everyone is trying to add different adjustments with minimal penalties. point one does badass stuff and they are definitely at the top of the game as far as innovation goes.

 

[motomike]

It would be nice if it didn't also alter the height of the bars at the same time

 

[SCARY]

Just adjust your bb to compensate.Then adjust your HA to compensate for that.Then adjust your WB...

 

[marshalolson]

or you could just buy the right stem to begin with

Yeah but the holes were not concentric giving this effect.

i know they werent. thats why i said what i said

You read my mind

I always though 1mm headset spacers and 5mm stem increments were fine. That thing looks like it's answering a problem that doesn't exist and making something simple more complicated

It will balance out when they fit the angle adjusting headset squint

totally. love their stuff. it's WAY cleaner than other adjustable stems that have extra mounting holes that hang over. always hated that. plus you get the nice bonus of vertical adjustment too and holy crap thats light.

"Yeah I came back to the pits, tweaked the length another .000082mm - - and that made ALL the difference in the handling!"

dont forget to not move your lips when giving your interview.

man, i tried to get a buddy to design a stem like this but no dice. looks great. Is the cam for 25.6 or 31.8mm bars? sorry if i glazed over it.

its for 31.8 only I think. I really like it. Theres a reason that pro riders are using 5mm spacers under their direct mounts. They like to tweak their bar heights for different courses and such.
not going to make the world of difference, but still better than other stems.

 

[SCARY]

Wait.....now everything is to low?Their sponsors made bars and stems so low, with no options,now they have to raising everything back up?
........Crap....I'm gonna start cutting my bars down under 24"just so I'm ahead of the trend that's sure to follow.
