History
Loronzo H. “Ronnie” Thomson founded L.H. Thomson Company, Inc. in 1981 with a mission to manufacture precision machined parts using CNC equipment. In the mid-‘90s, Ronnie used his aerospace engineering expertise to create a bicycle seatpost for his daughter, a team cyclist at Carnegie Mellon University. Rather than making a post similar to other posts on the market, Ronnie created something entirely new: a one-piece seatpost light enough for an unmatched ride, but strong enough to withstand the pressures of biking. Ronnie patented his creation and Thomson bike components were born.
Details
Too many modern mountain bike stems sacrifice strength and torsional stiffness for a few grams of saved weight. The Thomson X4 is the leader in strength and stiffness.
The Thomson X4 stem allows you to realize the benefits of stiffer forks and stiffer 31.8mm bars. X4 offers precise steering, tracking and more control while riding, all wrapped up in a beautiful design.
Certified to: EN 14766 2006 MTB and DIN CERTCO: 2006 MTB
The Thomson X4 is stronger and 30g lighter than the Thomson Elite 25.4mm mountain stem. It features a traditional steerer clamp that is shaped to save weight and to be knee friendly. X4 is absolutely the best combination of strength and weight available. Thomson stems are the strongest in the industry, meaning enduro and downhill riders can run Thomson confidently.
The stem is one piece of solid 7000 series Aluminium extruded billet precision, machined by Thomson in Macon, Georgia. It’s built and tested to the same standards as aerospace parts and it’s the best stem for all-around mountain bike and cyclocross riding
