Spank Spike Race 2 Stem, 35mm or 50mm Burly 31.8 bar-clamp Zone

Got this stem in the 50mm length to replace a 110mm XC stem that came on my bike, and it completely changed how my bike feels. Turning feels snappier and more confident, and I don't feel so stretched out and uncomfortable.The actual stem is a really well made product. It's light but feels very solid, and the bolts seem to be of good quality. The logos on the sides look really nice. The front Spank logo, which I thought was just printed, too, when I bought it, is actually deeply laser-engraved, which is a nice touch and probably saves a small amount of weight if you care about that. Overall really happy with this stem and will probably buy more Spank products in the future.

I bought this stem for my Ozark Trail Ridge project and I’m impressed with the build quality and its robustness.It was fairly easy to install although I had to double check my angles because there are no guide lines. *You might want to note the height difference between the Spoon stem and your current stem because this kit does not include spacers nor a top cap.As far as performance goes I notice a huge difference in maneuverability and control. The front end of the bike is much more nimble and easier to lift up.Overall I’m happy with the price, performance, and the way it looks. I highly recommend this Spoon stem if you’re looking for a cheaper stem to test out a stem length or you just want to save some money.

Installed to a rockshox recon on my hyper explorer. Feels nice and gets a good angle. Would recommend this.

Switched from a 50mm to a 35mm on Trek Roscoe 7. Bike has more precise steering and looks better too.

The price is hard to beat the color is same as picture it is a little heavier than It looks good quality though

I am running the spank race 2 stem and the spank 785 bars and I love this setup. Stem is made well, It is light (not a gram counter) and it looks bitching on my bike.

Very sturdy, takes the abuse of gnarly rock gardens in stride. Perfect color match BTW with RaceFace’s “Green Monster” metallic green.

I'm sure it's a great stem. Looks nice, feels quality, Spank always has nice minimal packaging and includes a nice sticker. This thing is stamped with "35" on it, and I mistakenly interpreted that to indicate the clamp diameter of the bars. 35 refers to the length, it's the standard 31.whatever clamp diameter. So I guess I'll hold onto it in the event I ever go back to standard bars.
