The Thomson Elite X4 stem starts as a one - piece 7000 series extruded billet, a precision solid aluminum block. It's Thomson's idea of the perfect stem, combining strength, low weight, and CNC precision. Whether you're an enduro rider, downhill racer, track racer, or into cross - country, cyclo - cross, or road biking, you can trust the X4. It's light enough for all these types of bikes. Pair it with Thomson's Elite or Masterpiece series posts, a seat post collar, and handlebar to complete your cockpit collection. Machined in Macon, Georgia, the X4 is manufactured and tested as rigorously as aerospace parts and has been ridden by top cyclists. It features Thomson's classic CNC feed lines, durable 3mm bolts, and a precision - matching faceplate, providing precise steering and tracking for ultimate control while riding.

Using the Thomson Elite X4 stem is easy. Just attach it to your bike following the standard installation process for stems. Make sure all bolts are tightened properly, but don't over - tighten as it may damage the parts. When riding, enjoy the precise steering and control it offers. For maintenance, regularly check the bolts for tightness. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, replace the bolts or the stem as needed. Keep it clean by wiping it with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. This stem is built to last, so with proper care, it will serve you well for a long time.
