Nukeproof Sam Hill Horizon Oil Slick Stem

Developed alongside MTB legend Sam Hill, Nukeproof sponsored athletes and staff, the Horizon stem has been tested in the most demanding Enduro and Downhill conditions. Optimised to be lightweight and ultra-strong, this Sam Hill Signature model also comes equipped with Ti bolts and is finished off with Sam's signature logo laser-etched into it. The result is an eye-catching stem that's reliable and looks as awesome as it performs as you weave between the MTB trails at speed. This is the special edition oil slick colour version.

Precision CNC Machined

The stem can be mounted either way, providing 5mm of bar height adjustability allowing you to tailor your cockpit set up with 5mm rise or fall. It has been precision CNC machined to maintain high strength and to remove unnecessary material to save weight and give a sleek modern, stylish look.

Modern MTB Stem with a Clean Look

The Horizon stem steerer clamp features an offset design, which provides maximum thread contact for the steerer bolts. All sharp edges have been removed during the machining process to ensure a smooth feel while eliminating any risk of injury should your body come in contact with the stem. The faceplate has also been designed specifically with "no gap" at the top to give it a clean look and to make the fitting assembly easier.

The fitting instructions for this stem can be found HERE for your convenience and are also included within the stem packaging.

To ensure correct torque can be achieved, stem steerer bolts must be greased before installation on the bike.

Questions

Do MTB stems make a difference?

On the face of it, the stem may seem like a fairly mundane, if essential, bike component, connecting the fork steerer to your handlebars. However, the stem has a significant effect on your bike's geometry and, as a result, the handling and your ride position.

Is a shorter stem better for MTB?

Using a shorter stem gives the bike quicker handling characteristics and a more responsive feel. A longer stem shifts your body weight towards the front of the bike and puts you in a better pedaling position, especially on those steep climbs.

How does a longer stem affect bike handling?

“The longer the stem,” explains Tom Kellogg, “the more the rider's weight pushing forward on the bars tends to keep the front wheel pointing forward.” As a consequence, the bike becomes more stable, especially at high speeds, which accounts to some extent why pro riders normally opt for a shorter frame and a longer ...
