Industry Nine A318 Stem - 31.8mm Diameter, 30mm Length, 1-1/8" Steerer, 8° Rise In Blue

Mountain bikers, this Industry Nine A318 stem is serious premium componentry for riders who demand the best! Crafted from domestically-sourced 7075 aluminum billet - that's aerospace-grade material that provides incredible strength-to-weight ratio without compromising durability. The dimensions are spot-on for modern aggressive riding: 31.8mm handlebar diameter compatibility, 30mm length for that responsive feel, and 8-degree rise that works perfectly with today's longer travel forks. The 1-1/8\ steerer compatibility means it'll fit most modern mountain bike forks without issues. What's really impressive is the 180 degrees of handlebar contact on the stem body - this provides twist-free security that works beautifully with both alloy and carbon bars, eliminating that worrying creaking or slipping during hard rides. The stainless steel hardware ensures everything stays tight and looks great regardless of mud-blasting washes or riding in rainforest climates - no rust or corrosion issues here. The coolest part? The entire process - machining, anodizing, and assembly - happens entirely in Asheville, NC, so you're supporting American manufacturing while getting top-tier quality control. The blue anodized finish is absolutely gorgeous with that deep, consistent color that Industry Nine is known for. Whether you're building up a new bike or upgrading your current setup, this stem delivers that perfect combination of precision engineering, reliable performance, and stunning aesthetics that serious riders appreciate. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect from the machining marks to the hardware selection. If you want stem performance that matches your riding ambition, this Industry Nine model is absolutely worth the investment for both function and style!
