Product Information
Full details
The Hope Trail 35 Stem is designed for aggressive trail, down-country, and all-mountain riders who demand high-precision steering and reliable strength from their cockpit. Engineered from CNC-machined 2014 T6 aluminium, this stem provides a lightweight, stiff platform that enhances control on technical terrain; however, users should ensure they are using the correct 35mm handlebar diameter as it is not compatible with standard 31.8mm bars.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use this stem with 31.8mm handlebars?
No, this stem is strictly engineered for 35mm diameter handlebars.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a high-quality set of metric Allen keys, ideally with a torque wrench to ensure proper bolt tension.
Is this stem suitable for downhill racing?
While the construction is very strong, Hope offers specific dedicated downhill stems if you are participating in extreme gravity racing.
How do I maintain the finish?
Simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth after rides. Avoid harsh degreasers that could damage the anodized finish.
What does the 56mm clamping width mean for my bike?
The wider clamping width provides more surface area, which improves stiffness and prevents stress points on the handlebar.
Troubleshooting
Handlebars slipping or rotating under load
Ensure the faceplate bolts were tightened in an 'X' pattern and verify they meet the manufacturer's specified torque settings.
Creaking sounds coming from the cockpit
Clean the clamping surface of the stem and bars, apply a thin layer of friction paste if necessary, and re-torque all bolts.
Steerer clamp feels loose after installation
Check that your headset top cap is properly preloaded before tightening the stem's steerer bolts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This stem is designed exclusively for 35mm diameter mountain bike handlebars and standard 1 1/8-inch fork steerers.
- Ensure your steer tube is clean and free of debris before sliding the stem on.
- Tighten the opposing steerer bolts evenly in an alternating fashion to reach the recommended torque specification.
- When attaching your handlebars, tighten the front faceplate bolts in an 'X' pattern to ensure the no-gap interface closes evenly.
- Periodically inspect the stainless steel screws for any debris and ensure they remain properly torqued after your first few rides.
- Use a high-quality bicycle grease or anti-seize on the bolt threads to prevent corrosion over time.
