Utilizing additive manufacturing to “print” street and mountain bike stems out of 6/4 titanium powder, the Mythos stems use a uniquely open design primarily based on the real-world stresses stems face.
Supplied in two fashions -the street ELIX, and the mountain bike IXO- Mythos’s stems are designed in home within the UK, then printed by METRON Superior Tools for them. They are saying the stems are each torsionally stiffer and stiffer in bending in comparison with an equal alloy stem.
The IXO, proven above, is available in 40mm and 50mm lengths (£250 incl. VAT) with 0º rise and a 38mm stack top with a no-gap faceplate. Weight from 147g with ti {hardware}, they are saying it’s 16% stiffer torsionally and 11% stiffer in bending.
The ELIX (above, £500 incl. VAT) street bike stem is produced from Scalmalloy, which is a mixture of Scandium, Aluminum, and Magnesium and is an alternative to 7000-series aluminum and is stronger than titanium. It is available in 100/110/120/130mm lengths with a +/-8º rise. It is available in three finishes and weighs as little as 150g together with titanium {hardware}. They are saying it’s 15% stiffer torsionally, however has the identical bending stiffness as a superb alloy stem.
The stems use SLM Additive manufacturing, which basically melts metallic powder right into a stable, layer by layer, to create a completed half.
The ELIX street bike stems can be found now, and pre-orders are open for the MTB stems.
