Stem sizing: Stem length
impacts your riding
position, efficiency and
comfort. If you are male,
and have generally
average upper and lower
body proportions for your
height, the default size in
the specs should be OK for
you. Shorter lengths are
for when the upper body
is proportionally smaller
than average (females
generally fall into this
category), or you want a
more upright position.
Longer lengths are for
people with longer than
average torsos, or for a
more aero position.

brazed construction. 0 degree rise (parallel to the ground), for 1 1/8" threadless steerer tube and
