Ritchey WCS C260 Carbon Matrix Stem

WCS (WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES) :

• These words evoke the core philosophy behind Ritcheys highest performance components. The rainbow stripe WCS logo represents the numerous world champions that have won on Ritchey. The WCS line is the gold standard for lightweight, bombproof race parts and cutting edge innovation.

• The C260° Carbon Stem - This revolutionary one of a kind patented design starts with a bar clamp that wraps a full 260 degrees around the handlebar to distribute clamping stress more evenly through the handlebar,faceplate, hardware and stem body. The steer tube clamp uses three bolts and a curved slot to reduce clamp stress on the steer tube.

• The body is 3D forged from an advanced 7050 aluminum, internally machined and then enhanced with a Ritchey Matrix structural carbon exoskeleton to enhance stiffness. Premium quality CrMo steel bolts are used throughout, but in a smaller M4 size that shaves a few more grams with no sacrifice in strength or rigidity. The result makes the carbon C260° 14% stiffer than the WCS C26 Gram for gram, the stiffest stem in the Ritchey line.
