Mondraker has unveiled a prototype stem for the Fox40 dual crown downhill suspension fork. Weighing in at 253g, the unified design combines the stem and crown into one piece and drops 115g off the stock Fox parts.
Besides creating a one-piece structure, the design eliminates four screws from the Fox set up, which should increase strength and stiffness. The crown is completely flat and allows the rider to slide it up or down the stanchions 2cm, allowing for a lower position on courses where more weight needs to be on the front tire. Testing should continue through the Summer, so look for it sometime late this year.
