The adjustable mountain bike stem is here, and we're not sure we need it

Spanish firm 3FStech has, in its own words, come up with a product that will be an 'evolution in mountain bike racing'. What it's actually done is designed an adjustable mountain bike stem.

Indexed through three positions, the 3FStech AIM (adjustment in motion) stem slides along its own alloy shaft to offer 55, 95 and 120mm stem lengths to a rider.

With the 350g 3FStech AIM in place, a rider simply pushes forward on a remote lever and either pushes out or pulls in the component to reach their desired stem length. Should you want to risk an accident, it can even be done while in the saddle.

Many of us will have resorted to adjusting stem lengths over the years – and anyone who has will be able to report on the dramatic effect that doing so will have on a bike's steering.
