Made in our beloved state of Washington! The Nora V2.5 stem is designed with modern bike geometry and short offset forks in mind. Knowing we would need black magic to make anything shorter than 32mm fit a ø35 bar, we used this as our starting point and increased the stem length in 5mm increments from here. Meanwhile—these lengths match the fork offsets of 37mm and 42mm nicely. Most brands that offer bikes with modern geometry recommend running a stem as close to your fork offset as possible. We got straight to the point, taking the guessing out of the equation so you can maintain the best steering characteristics possible.
