Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Clean, integrated look with Blendr system
  • Compatible with both alloy and carbon bars
  • High stiffness-to-weight ratio
  • Includes essential accessory mounts

Cons

  • Requires specific torque wrench for safe installation
  • Limited to 31.8 mm bar diameter
  • Installation of Blendr mounts requires careful alignment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installing the Bontrager Elite Stem, ensure your handlebar and steerer tube diameters are exactly 31.8 mm.

  1. Loosen the four faceplate bolts and remove the faceplate.
  2. Position your handlebar centrally within the clamp area.
  3. Reinstall the faceplate and tighten the bolts in a cross-pattern to ensure even pressure.
  4. Always use a calibrated torque wrench to reach the 5.2 Nm specification.

For care, periodically check that the M5 bolts remain secure. Since the stem is made of alloy, it is generally resistant to corrosion, but cleaning the contact surfaces during maintenance helps prevent creaking over time.
