Lightweight, but more than man enough for the job

Forged from 7075 alloy, this direct mounter certainly stands out from the rest. Our 50mm stem weighed just under 190g and proved it could stand up to plenty of abuse.

The bars stayed in place even after some big crashes, and the zero rise meant everything was kept super-low for better control.

The Truvativ direct mount fits RockShox Boxxers, 2009 and 2010 Fox 40s, and Manitou Dorados, but not Marzocchi 888s

Product "35322" does not exist or you do not have permission to access it.

Rob Weaver is BikeRadar's technical editor-in-chief. Rob manages all of the testing here at BikeRadar and across our magazines, Mountain Biking UK and Cycling Plus. 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.
