Hollow Core Design
The Elite B-52 Stem uses a unique "Hollow Core" design that
removes un-needed material from the center or "Core" of the stem (removing
weight) and leaves the crucial structural material around the outside of the stem that
gives the B-52 it's torsional strength. The KORE B-52 is the first "CNC" stem
available with this unique "Hollow Core" Design.
Four Bolt Removable Front Clamp Design
The B-52 uses a four bolt front clamp design. A four bolt front clamp has
incredible clamping power for the increased leverage of DH rise bars and is twice as
durable and reliable than two bolt stems. The B-52 uses 4130 chromoly "round
head" bolts throughout for strength, reliability, and safety.
One Piece CNC with Knee-Saver Design
The Elite B-52 is made from a single piece of "Billet" 6061
aluminum alloy. This feature makes the B-52 an extremely stiff and durable stem, perfect
for the demands of down hill mountain bike racing. Like all KORE stems, we have
incorporated our patented "Knee Saver" two bolt rear clamp design into the B-52.
This proven design is safer in the event that the rider collides his/her knee into the
back of the stem, and the two bolt design is stronger and more reliable than all other
"CAM" or internal pinch bolt designs. |
