Developed in collaboration with Aus Cycling and Cycling Canada for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Optimised stiffness-to-weight ratio to achieve the best possible direct mount cockpit under high-intensity accelerations. Furthermore, an in-depth aerodynamic study was undertaken to ensure airflow around the leading edge of the stem and headtube junction maintained a fluid and attached airflow.

The length I needed…

Long, stiff. The integration with the Argon18 Pro TKO is great, and now with the Altias bars. Outside of getting me in a more comfortable and aero position, is just finished the look of the bike nicely.

Perfect fit!

It makes my TKO look amazing and fast. The user manual was very helpful to order the perfect length and stack. Don’t forget to order the correct bolts for your setup.

too good

I was impressed when I installed this stem. The handlebar area became 200g lighter, and both aerodynamics and rigidity improved. There was no flex at the start of sprint. It is expensive, but it's worth buying.

Superb

If only Argon 18 could partner with Velobike and make these an OEM option… every Argon18 owner should be using this stem. It’s so stiff, strong and confidence inspiring. Velobike thank you!

剛性が素晴らしい!

ステアラーモジュールを抜いて直接フレームに留める形になるので、単純に剛性感がアップします。短距離のスタートだけでなく、中長距離のダッシュに関しても反応が早くなるので、ポジションを決めるのがシビアですが、きちんとしたサイズを買えば必ず機材のレベル、空力共に向上すると感じました。

This thing rocks

I've wanted a stem like this for a long time. The previous options were just too expensive - I did consult with a local machine shop to make one too. Anyway, I'm super excited to have this. It just looks so smooth and sleek. It fits nicely. And I no longer have to remove/attach the stem mount when swapping to pursuit bars. (This was a minor inconvenience, but it was annoying, and it provided too many opportunities to lose pieces in travel.)

Perfect aesthetic

I bought a 130mm by 60 rise altias stem for my Argon. Works perfectly and saves me heaps of time switching to pursuit setup. And looks as flash as Michael Jackson.

quelle sont les délais pour un potence Longueur 130 avec un Stack 90
merci d'avance

Hi Matteo, We dont make the stem in this size sorry. For a higher stack height i'd recomend to add a set of spacers to a 60mm stack stem to increase the height.
