Zipp Service Course Stem – AL6061 – 31.8mm – ±25° – 105mm – Black
The Zipp Service Course stem is a strength-focused road stem designed for riders who need a wider range of fit adjustment without sacrificing stiffness or reliability. Built from AL6061 aluminum, it uses Zipp’s updated faceplate and body geometry to provide a secure clamp and straightforward installation.
The ±25° angle option makes this version especially useful for fit corrections, upright endurance setups, or riders dialing in bar height without changing spacers or handlebars. Compared to low-angle stems, this offers significantly more adjustment range while maintaining a solid front-end feel.
