But Why?

Seriously though, why does this exist?

• Swing Stem started as a personal project trying to solve the age old problem of N+1. Modern trail/enduro/etc. bikes take up a lot of room. If you can easily rotate the bars to align with the frame that footprint is greatly reduced which in turn improves your storage situation.

But is it robust enough for REAL trail riding?

• Simply put, yes! Our favorite local test track is Soquel Demonstration Forest in the Santa Cruz mountains

How does it work?

• When tightened, ball lock pins clamp the top plate to the stem side bolted to the steer tube forming a rigid connection. To place the bike into storage mode, simply loosen both pins, remove one pin, rotate the bars to the desired side and position, and retighten the pin that was left installed.

Can I bolt other Direct Mount stems onto Swing Stem?

• Yes! However not every Direct Mount stem will clear the lock pins. In the future we hope to have a list of what is compatible.

When will it be available?

• Bringing a new product to market is a big investment, so we’re gauging interest to ensure there's demand before we fully dive in. If Swing Stem has caught your eye, we’d love to hear from you! Message us, or shout us out on insta!
