Description
Bicycle Stem Bolt with Washer Titanium is a precision-engineered fastener designed to securely attach a
bicycle’s handlebars and stem to the fork steerer tube. This component plays a crucial role in maintaining handlebar
stability, steering accuracy, and rider safety.
Manufactured from Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), this bolt and washer assembly offers an excellent balance of high strength, light weight, and superior corrosion resistance. It is a popular upgrade for high-performance road bikes, mountain
bikes, and racing bicycles where every gram and performance detail
counts.
The bolt is typically installed using a torque wrench or adjustable wrench to ensure precise clamping force without damaging the carbon or
aluminum stem components.
