Road Bike Stem With Rise

Finally bicycle stem rise is a reference to a bike stem s angle represented in degrees as it relates to the fork steerer tube.

Road bike stem with rise. The rise angle of stem from fork to bar has quite a large effect. Stem lengths are measured along the centerline of the stem extension so a 120mm stem with a 90 degree angle actually has a horizontal length of only 115mm. Some stems have a moderate rise while others like the above ritchey 4axis stem model have an 84 degree rise. Stems can also be flipped so you d get 10 degrees of drop and the commiserate lower bar position.

If you need a stem length beyond those extremes your bike frame is the wrong size.
