Frankly i love the high rise. Lots of us decades long riders have crap lower backs and the high rise really helps

To all the people wondering what this is and why I made it, this is the RR (Raised Reversed) stem. It is both Raised up and Reversed in offset so that your hands are ultimately behind the steering axis instead of in front as is traditional.

The Raised height helps improve the riders stance with a better arm angle to the bars for confidence, proper bend in the elbows for control, and more rider weight supported by their legs instead of hands. It also gives a longer lever between their hands and feet to give them more leverage for maneuvering the bike. These help the rider to feel more comfortable and confident, and makes the bike more maneuverable.

The Reversed offset improves and calms the steering dynamics. Since it arcs out instead of in when turning relative to the frame, it allows the rider to position themselves on the outside of the bike when cornering to load their side knobs properly while also leaning the bike in further for a kinematically tighter turn. The hand to front axle position parallels a 59 degree headtube angle for ultimate confidence in steep terrain, with a steering feel that is less floppy and more direct than the stock headtube angle of the bike with a traditional stem. These help the rider corner much better with improved feel of the front end, keep better balance in loose terrain, and feel more confident in steep terrain.

I am consistently significantly faster riding on a bike with the RR stem relative to traditional 50mm - 35mm stems. I have gotten better race results, such as when I won 🥇 the Southridge USA DH Expert Men 19-29 race with a time 3 seconds faster than 3rd place in Pro Men, and I can now ride more technical terrain and bigger jumps than I ever could before using the RR stem. The RR stem has been in development for over 3 years testing all kinds of different heights and offsets on various bikes and terrain, always benchmarking against the traditional 50mm - 35mm stem. I tested anything from below traditional height to about 80mm taller than the RR stem you see here, and 70mm offset forward all the way to 70mm offset Reversed. The RR stem that I now sell on the Be More Bikes website:
is the culmination of all of that testing to find the best Enduro mtb stem geometry with a -15mm Reversed offset. If you have any questions please leave a reply, or check out my Tech and FAQ’s page here:
I love having discussions. 🙂

Glad it's finally getting some more eyeballs on it. Took me a while to get used to it. On descents and pottering around at low speeds, it's kind of a game changer for me. Even just doing errands around town, it makes the bike way more comfortable. Climbing and hucking the bike around will take more time to adjust. Like mentioned in the video, the front wheel definitely feels much further away and it throws off my timing and weight-shifting habits there. If you have a very wide bar, you will also have to adjust to it being closer to you. Either way, I'm not taking it off, the bike feels much more balanced and neutral overall.

This is why new bikes NEED TO COME WITH UNCUT FORKS. This setting is very rider size specific.

[ttengineer]

Glad you guys are finally embracing videos. Its such a better format to convey your message. Videos like this have been needed on your end for a decade. Keep it up.

[believe]

People may think it looks strange but nobody that has tried it has disliked it. It gives you more of a comfortable feel and definitely less OTB accidents.

Bike reach numbers need +6” more to get the handlebar in the proper position for this reverse stem to work in all cases…..Mtb’s are slowly adopting the riding position of a motocross bike

[tristanwwsd]

I put Tusk moto bars on my steel hardtail 29er using a BMX 22.2 stem.
It was a huge improvement for me. I can't ride with the saddle higher than the bars anymore.

[Todd]

Something about it just clicks with me. I really like how it looks and I love the idea. Looks like it would give much better control, but with a stem like that, it’s going to be all about the bars.

[KurtisPape]

If you get a new fork, cut it for 40mm of spacers and ride it for a bit, you can always cut later to a more standard 25mm of spacers. On my bike I added a 12mm headset cup, went from a 20mm to 35mm riser and my new fork left an extra 15mm of steerer tube for a total of 47mm extra height, pretty well 2 inches! I thought climbing would be awkward but it was perfectly fine, I just ended up going back to my 20mm bars.

[mtbjay]

Nice save on that chute ! Gotta stay on your toes when riding down East

[jaanrett]

Why not just put BMX bars and stem on there. It does the same thing, but like 1000% better.

[rezenclowd]

As someone that ride XL bikes I want more stack, but also steeper so that I can weight the front without the front wheel being way too far out there. I feel on my bikes that I am too far forward just to get grip, and on our super tech dh stuff here (tunnel trail SB), going OTB is much too easy as someone over 6ft.

[Manetty]

fakin hell! PVD IS ALIVE!!! :O
tester dude! you're missing the point of this product! you need at least one size bigger frame in order to benefit from a stem/bar combo like this.

[lalligood]

This isn't the first video review I've seen for this stem. Something that's been suspiciously missing from all the videos that I really want to hear the reviewer comments on: riding a pump track & doing bunny hops with this stem. There's no way that you can anywhere close to producing the same amount of speed or height, respectively, with a stem that's so tall & close to the body. But I'd love for a reviewer to have feedback that proves me wrong.

[or-ian]

My stack height is 20mm higher than stock. Works just fine.

[Gbark]

Or you could buy a $60 150mm BMX cruiser bar. I did. Also, dropper posts are heavy and unnecessary, as far as I’m concerned. But I’ve only been MTBing for 35 years, and I have just never needed or imagined a need for anything like that, so what do I know.

[beefeekeefee]

I bet Bronson is developing a dropper style mechanism built into the stem so normal and raised positions could be used depending on the situation just like a dropper seat post.

[tombeck]

Best thing since the invention of the dropper post? 😂 Never mind that the dropper post attempted to resolve exactly the same thing - getting your body low relative to the bars.

[Gbark]

The albatross bar currently in vogue is too wide and has lots to do with your difficulties with this stem, clearly. Look at the motocross and supermoto riding position, and use that as a model. The upright riding position has been used in those for decades, and those are, in any comparison of like for like riding, far faster and more critical than comparable MTBing.
