Shadow VVS BMX Stem – 48mm – Skeletor Purple
The Shadow VVS stem is a BMX stem designed around strength, simplicity, and a low-profile front end. This is the Matt Ray signature model, built for riders who want a compact, solid stem that keeps bars low and stable without unnecessary rise or angle.
It’s commonly used on street and park BMX builds where bar control and front-end stiffness matter.

Service / Ownership Context
Stem bolts are safety-critical. Bars should be centered and bolts tightened evenly to the manufacturer’s torque spec. This low-rise stem places more load through the rider’s arms and front wheel, so bar height and fork setup should be considered as part of the overall fit.

• Good fit for BMX street or park riding
• Good fit if you want a low-rise, compact stem
• Good fit for riders who prefer a direct front-end feel
• Not a fit for bikes with oversized bars
