Full details
The Leatt Gravity 6.0 MTB Bike Stem is designed for downhill, enduro, and gravity-focused riders who demand maximum front-end stiffness and steering precision. Engineered from 7075 aluminum, this stem provides exceptional structural integrity for high-impact riding, though its specialized focus on gravity discipline means it may be overkill for lightweight cross-country setups.

FAQs
Is this stem compatible with carbon handlebars?
Yes, the 210-degree wrap and zero-gap faceplate are specifically designed to distribute clamping force evenly, making it safe for most high-quality carbon bars.
What is the weight of the Leatt Gravity 6.0 stem?
It is engineered for optimal balance between weight and gravity-rated durability, providing a robust platform without excessive bulk.
Do I need special tools for the interlocking faceplate?
No, standard metric hex keys are all that is required for installation.
What is the benefit of the integrated steerer tube seal?
It prevents grit and moisture from traveling down the steerer tube and settling into your headset bearings, which extends the life of your headset.
Can I use this for casual trail riding?
Yes, although it is overbuilt for casual riding, it offers a secure and durable front end for any style of mountain biking.
Troubleshooting
Handlebar slips during riding
Ensure the clamping surface is clean and check that bolts are tightened to the recommended torque specification.
Stem feels loose on the steerer tube
Verify that your steerer tube diameter matches the stem size and ensure the headset top cap is preloaded correctly before tightening the stem's side pinch bolts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard hex key set and a torque wrench to ensure the 7075 aluminum threads remain intact.
- Ensure the steerer tube is clean and free of grease before sliding the stem onto the tube.
- Align the interlocking faceplate, ensuring all bolts are threaded evenly.
- Always tighten the bolts in an 'X' pattern to distribute pressure equally.
- Periodically check the bolts for vibration-induced loosening after long rides or high-impact sessions.
Clean the integrated seal cap periodically with a damp cloth to prevent grit from compromising the seal interface against your headset.
