"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve used the Guide Trail Stem on several builds and it’s always delivered—lightweight, super stiff, and looks great. Whether I’m running a 31. 8 or 35 clamp, it holds tight and keeps my front end feeling responsive and dialed."" When it comes to dialing in cockpit fit and control, the Salsa Guide Trail Stem brings strength, simplicity, and modern geometry compatibility. Designed to complement wide bars and slack head angles, this stem gives us a planted, responsive front end that inspires confidence on everything from technical climbs to fast descents. Made from 3D-forged AL-6061-T6 aluminum and CNC-machined for precise tolerances, it balances stiffness and weight with clean aesthetics. With multiple lengths, clamp diameters, and a neutral 0-degree rise, it fits seamlessly into a range of trail and all-mountain setups. Whether we’re upgrading a stock stem or customizing cockpit fit, the Guide Trail Stem keeps the ride smooth, direct, and ready for whatever’s ahead."
