On the surface, a stem may look simple, but under that beautiful veneer lies hours of 3D modelling, countless FEA revisions, and tons of real-world ride testing. We do all of this to make sure we have a light, stiff stem that can handle tremendous forces from every conceivable angle.

Looks good, it's reasonably lightweight and super burly. Also great that's it's not super expensive
Love this set up, I've been hitting the Hopper ramp and Oj'ed a few times. (Over jumper.)16ft long and 10ft out of the sky to concrete. These bars flex so amazing, I'm sure they saved my wrist and neck a few times. Love the Chrome logo's, the finish of the bars is a smooth anodized looking finish.
Well designed and machined. light weight, great finish. Coming from the hayes group, i know i can trust this stem to hold up and last long.
Really happy with a few recent bar/stem upgrades from Protaper! These stems are so light for how burly and stiff they are I couldn’t believe it
I was having difficulty finding a 45mm stem for 31.8 bars. Most manufacturers make either a 40 or 50mm length. I eventually stumbled upon the Pro Taper, listed one Hayesbicycle website. As I was unfamiliar with the Pro Taper brand, I called Hayes. I was a bit surprised with an actual human answered the phone. A very nice gentlemen explained, in detail, the history of Pro Taper, and assured me of its quality. After the phone call, I immediately ordered the stem. It arrived within a few days as described. It is a well machined, quality stem. I have ridden it several times now, and am quite pleased with its appearance, quality, and performance.
