Getting your controls dialled on your downhill rig is vital and you need to trust in them 100 per cent. The Stanction (sic) Mansion is beautifully crafted from 608 T6 Aerospace aluminium and designed to fit the Fox 40 fork. Fitted with titanium bolts as standard, this bad boy weighs in at 690g.
The integrated stem and crown, using the flat four-bolt bar clamp, enhances the rigidity of the front end, giving a more precise feel to the steering and preventing any twisting out of place if you do crash.
Combining both stem and crown can potentially save weight depending upon your current setup, along with allowing the steerer to be cut even shorter meaning further weight savings.
We tested the 31.8mm clamp, which has two reach settings of 35mm or 50mm, giving more choice and helping get that all-important setup sweet spot.
The Stanction Mansion complements the Fox 40s perfectly, creating trustworthy and precise controls for any ride.

Rob first graced the pages of MBUK back in 2001 when working as a freelance writer and went on to start testing bikes for the title in 2007. In 2010 he joined the team full-time and has been keeping a close eye on all things test-related ever since. Rob’s expansive knowledge of bikes comes courtesy of his passion for racing. He cut his teeth racing cross-country mountain bikes in the early 90s before finding his feet in downhill. After many years competing on the UK national circuit (including a year attempting to race UCI DH World Cups), Rob realised his know-how and passion for bike setup, tech and writing clearly outweighed his racing ability. A degree in sports technology and decades of riding experience all help to give Rob a thorough understanding of what’s needed to create a great bike or product. While Rob’s a mountain biker at heart and never happier than when he’s sliding down a Welsh hillside, he’s more than happy to put the miles in on the road or gravel bike, too.
