PNW just dropped a mountain bike stem they’ve deemed worthy of the name “Loam.” The brand has typically reserved the Loam label for their most premium products, from dropper posts and remotes to pedals and bars. The PNW Loam stem is CNC machined in Taiwan from 6061 aluminum alloy and is available in four shiny metallic finishes. Two lengths — 32mm and 40mm — are on offer, and buyers can choose from a 31.8mm or 35mm bar clamp diameter. PNW Loam stem specs
