After more than a year of ride testing and development the Tomahawk Stem is finally available at shops worldwide.


The Tomahawk is based around a list of front-load features that Chase Hawk requested and it is the first front-load stem to use convergent bolt axes for the front cap. This allows the stem to have the separate adjustability and “look” of a traditional four bolt front-loader, but with a smoother overall shape. It also eliminates the stresses associated with letting the bolt holes break through the outer face of the stem body. As a bonus, this means that the stem still looks “normal” when it is flipped to raise the handlebars.

Tom Dugan’s new TD350 Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

Tom Dugan has a signature Fit frame in the works and to go along with his prototype, we got him a pair of custom painted R32 forks and Lumberjack bars to match. In addition, you might also notice he’s rocking our new Tomahawk stem. Needless to say, his new bike is looking dialed like usual.

Our goal with the Tomahawk was to develop a new front load stem that used a modified version of the steerer tube clamping system found in the Elementary Stem. This approach would eliminate sharp bolts and edges at the back, keep the weight down, and still allow riders to tighten and loosen the bars and steerer tube independently from one another. The Tomahawk wedge system is captured in the body, allowing riders to remove it only when maintenance is necessary. The steerer tube is clamped by tightening one 6mm hex key bolt on the side of the stem.

We also set out specifically to design the stem around its own unique forging blanks for both the cap and body. Forging maximizes the strength of the material, and helps keep the manufacturing costs down. Machining the same shape from a block of aluminum would be weaker, it would be wasteful of material, and the retail price would be unreasonable. The unique nature of the stem’s tomahawk-inspired front load body shape allows it to look “normal” whether it is installed traditionally or upside-down to raise the bars.

The end result is a strong, lightweight, front load stem with a series of unique features and the aesthetics that Chase asked us for.
