The Atlas 35 stem was designed to reduce overall system weight while retaining the proven stiffness and performance the Atlas line is known for. The stem itself is measurably stiffer than Race Face's 31.8mm offering and, although the system seems to be a burlier build, the weight savings gained by the reduction in bar material makes the 35 system lighter overall. An impressively light, strong addition to an aggressive trail or DH/FR build.
