WTF is a sex bolt?

You know... that thing you put in the hole firmly but not too hard otherwise it gets stuck

So what is the intended use of this stem?

Is it for XC, DH/FR

 

[Mr Jones]

Just by the short length I'd say it's intended use is for FR/DH. It's almost unheard of to use a stem this short on an XC/AM bike unless the rider wanted a short cockpit.

possibly also DJ for those that are rocking 31.8 bars.
