Profile Designs Aris OS Bike Stem

My 25 y.o. aluminum frame Trek 8000 MTB is from the early days of mountain biking with small 26" wheels, long 100mm stem, and ultra-narrow handle bars. This 25 deg 70mm Profile Aris OS stem brought my handle bars closer, mitigating steering "sweep", and gave me a slight rise. That, along with a super-wide 785mm Race Face riser bar, brought my 1994 MTB back to the future! Now I just need some bigger wheels...

Maybe production issues have been resolved, because I had no problems with the stem other than a missing cap screw. I have had other low cost stems which were not aligned well, but this one was. I consider this stem cheap enough to buy several in order to fine tune my riding position. After that, I can either buy a different stem with nicer finish, or get a custom stem to tidy things up.

Torque grease applied, high quality stem, high quality hardware, available in many forms, slap it on and go! What more do you want?

This bike stem is of quality construction. It is forged and not welded as was the original Trek stem. The machining is precise and the fit is good in all areas. I believe that this stem will last the lifetime of my bike.

Yeh, don't compromise

Good quality stem.

Love it. High quality. Everything as expected.

as expected, profile design delivers
