What are the installation precautions for carbon handlebars?

Since titanium has a specific friction coefficient, using a 'carbon-specific' assembly paste (grip) is recommended on both the steerer and handlebar interfaces. To ensure the integrity of your components, we advise using a torque wrench to follow the specified torque settings, preventing any slippage or excessive stress.

Is the CLASSIC stem suitable for XC MTB use?

Yes. While developed for road and gravel, its Grade 9 titanium structure provides impact resistance and torsional stiffness validated for XC (Cross-Country). In its shorter lengths (70-90 mm), it represents a durable and reliable alternative to aluminum components for demanding off-road builds.
