Why We Like The Turbine-R 35 Stem
It's been said in the world of mountain bike components pick two of the following characteristics: lightweight, strong, and cheap. Though we're sure there's a few components that buck this characterization, they're about as common as Sasquatch sightings along the trail. Hitting both the lightweight and high-strength aspects of this famous trope, the Race Face Turbine-R 35 Stem features CNC-machined 7075 aluminum for the best in all-mountain strength without the serious weight penalty. Its high-volume design improves upon the ever-popular Turbine Stem sourced on many trail and XC bikes, with the 35-millimeter clamp working harmoniously with the beefier 35-millimeter diameter bars preferred by all-mountain and enduro riders.

Does what a good stem should and holds the bars in place! Have one on all of my MTB bikes (4) love the length and color options. Really helps dialing in the fit of the bike.

It's a stem. It holds my bars.

I needed something 10mm shorter to get the proper fit, and this does the job. Blue anodized color looks good and is cheaper than I9's stem.

This is my favorite stem. The machining is on par to Chromag and Thomson stems but the design and style is what makes it better. Cant go wrong with this one.

Purty but not quite Kashima colored

- I've used it several times
Beautiful and well made stem but the Kash Money color is more bronze than Kashima gold. Regardless, it still looks great and functions perfectly.

She's been good to you. Such a loyal trail weapon. Rides like yours deserve to be rewarded. This stem is jewelry for your bike. Treat her well, and she'll return the favor! The machining on the Turbine R is both a masterpiece of modern sculpture and a perfectly functional piece of kit. It's strong, and beautiful. The top lock clamp design makes installation simple, and it's ready to go with today's more modern 35mm clamp size. It does it's job so exceptionally well that you'd forget it was there...if it weren't so pretty.
