For project DH I spent a great deal of time looking at several options for the bikes set up and feel. After doing all my research I felt I wanted a stem to lower my bars just a bit. I opted for a bar with little rise without being flat, so I needed to get things just a bit lower. After reviewing the Marrow stems for our 4X bike, I decided to see if Marrow had something in the lines of a DH stem. A quick call and the guys at Marrow said I have just the stem your looking for!
The guys over at Marrow shaved quite a bit off this stem, it sits at a feathery 158g.
The Marrow Components “Below Zero” DM stem features the same clamping system found on the FreeRide stem from our previous review. Extensive milling throughout with super clean lines and still nice and wide, which is great for the wider bar trend. It dropped the bars nearly 6mm compared to a true “Zero Rise” stem. On our scale it sits at 158g which is pretty respectable in the Direct Mount stem market.
Here you can see the 6mm worth of drop this stem gives you.

Check out the view from the top! Nice clean lines and wide contact patch with the bars.
