DMR Defy35 Stem

DMR Defy35 Stem — Short, Stiff, and Built for Modern Trail Geometry

Supplier-direct item. Availability can change before dispatch.

What It Does

The DMR Defy35 Stem is a purpose-built trail and all-mountain stem designed to complement the slack head angles and longer reach figures found on modern aggressive trail bikes. With a 35mm reach, 25mm rise, and a low stack height, it keeps your front end planted without adding unwanted height to the cockpit.

Technical Insight

• 35mm clamp diameter — compatible with 35mm handlebars for a stiffer, more direct bar-to-stem interface
• Top-close clamp design with a wide clamping area for improved bar stability and reduced localised stress on the bar
• Stubby 35mm reach pairs well with longer-reach frame designs, keeping steering quick and responsive
• 25mm rise lifts the bar slightly without needing a riser spacer stack
• Available in Black and Silver; the Defy35+ variant is also available in Liquid Camo Green

Compatibility

This stem is designed for 35mm diameter handlebars. Confirm your bar clamp diameter before ordering — it is not compatible with standard 31.8mm bars.

Why Torque Collective Stock This

Shorter stems with a 35mm bar clamp are now the go-to spec on aggressive trail and enduro builds — both pedal-assist and non-assisted. The Defy35 delivers that setup in a clean, well-engineered package from DMR, a brand with strong roots in gravity and trail riding. It is a reliable, no-fuss upgrade or replacement stem for any 35mm cockpit build coming through the workshop.
