Sinz Pro Lite BMX Stem
Here we have the Pro Lite BMX stem form Sinz Racing. This stem is design and built for BMX racing and light trail riding - the kind a racer would do.
One thing for sure is that this the lightest Pro size BMX stem you can get for your race bike. It is available in two sizes, 50mm reach and 55mm reach. The 50mm version only weighs 6.5 ounces! That is half the weight of most other BMX stems. The Odyssey is the closest at 8.2 ounces.
Construction is on the Sinz Pro Lite stem is front loading, hollow, forged alloy. The overall quality is pretty good, however we don’t like the bolts. This is an imported stem,and as such comes with the cheaper grade bolts. These bolts are common on may imported stems and they have a tendency to strip very easily and dolt bite as well as grade 8 chromolly bolts found on US made stems.
If you are trying to build a super lite bike, this stem will help you shave off a lot of weight. But we would recommend using aftermarket bolts like those made by 43 Hardware. If you really want to go crazy you can get the hollow bolts.
This stem is available in a very cool bead blast black finish, or a high gloss white. Retail is about $60, which is a bit high for an imported stem, but is the lightest stem you can by, so if your really concerned about weight, it is a good choice.
