Front Lock Lever

Lock Lever

The newly developed Flat Pak stem allows easy adjustment of the handlebar in any direction
through two quick-release levers. By adjusting the handlebar's angle, riders can change their
riding position; whether upright for leisurely riding, or forward for more competitiveness. The
Flat Pak stem also rotates 90° to save room in tight spaces.
