Description

The Reverse Components Black-One D-2 Direct Mount stem revolutionises the cockpit of downhill (DH) and freeride bikes thanks to its innovative D-2 (1 Stem – 2 Diameters) technology. Equipped with a removable aluminium reducer shim, it is compatible with both Ø 31.8 mm and Ø 35.0 mm handlebars, allowing you to upgrade or change your handlebars without replacing your stem.

Its two-piece CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminium construction ensures a seamless appearance and makes installation easier without removing the grips. Thanks to its smooth, continuous lower clamping surface, clamping forces are distributed evenly to eliminate stress points, protecting the carbon handlebars and extending their lifespan.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Direct Mount stem compatible with my fork?

It's compatible with the vast majority of dual-crown MTB forks on the market that have a four-bolt Direct Mount fitting on the upper crown (Fox 40, RockShox BoXXer, Marzocchi 58, Öhlins DH38, etc.).

Can this stem be safely fitted to a carbon handlebar?

Absolutely. The lower clamping area has been specially designed without sharp edges or corners to distribute pressure evenly across the material, helping prevent damage to the carbon fibres when tightened to the specified torque.
