Renthal Apex V2 Stem - 35mm Clamp

The 35mm clamp diameter allows for the use of wider, stiffer handlebars, which are preferred for modern aggressive riding styles, offering better control and reduced flex.

While it offers lightweight construction, the primary design focus and benefits of increased stiffness and wider clamp are more suited to aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill riding rather than traditional cross-country.

Always refer to the official Renthal documentation for the most accurate torque specifications for both the steerer clamp and handlebar clamp bolts. Over-tightening can damage components.

Yes, it is compatible with carbon handlebars, but it is crucial to use a carbon assembly paste and adhere strictly to the recommended torque settings to prevent damage.

The Renthal Apex V2 Stem is available in 33mm, 40mm, and 50mm lengths to cater to different rider preferences and fit requirements.

The extensive internal machining is used to remove unnecessary material, significantly reducing the overall weight of the stem while maintaining its structural integrity and strength.

The angled, side-mounted steerer clamp design is intended to improve clamping performance and ensure a more consistent and secure fit on the bike's steerer tube.

Ensure all stem bolts (steerer clamp and handlebar clamp) are tightened to the correct torque specifications. Re-apply a thin layer of carbon assembly paste if using carbon handlebars.

Check that the handlebar clamp bolts are tightened evenly and to the recommended torque. Ensure the handlebars are seated correctly within the clamp.

Confirm that your handlebars have a 35mm clamp diameter. Ensure the handlebar clamp is fully loosened and the handlebars are correctly positioned.
