The clamps are installed over the small diameter section of the handlebar and slid into the centre, giving a 240° wrap of the handlebar. This clamping system allows the stem body material to be reduced to a minimum, whilst maintaining an incredibly stiff and strong structure.

The Integra stem is fully CNC machined from solid billet. All unnecessary material is removed to minimise weight, whilst retaining maximum strength and stiffness. The unique handlebar clamping allows full access to the stem body, to machine away all unnecessary material.

The Renthal Integra features a fully CNC machined 6082 T6 aluminium body and 7075 clamps. The materials and their heat treatment processes have been specifically chosen, to give the highest strength to weight ratio.

Steel hardware is a major factor in the weight of a stem. The Integra has reduced the required hardware to just six bolts, instead of the normal eight, to vastly reduce overall weight. Combined with a single piece stem body, the 64mm clamp width gives superior strength and structural stability. This increases control, without the need to add large amounts of material and hence weight.

The Renthal Integra has already gained cult status, as the stem choice for World Cup downhill. Four World Cup overall championships and seven World Championship gold medals have been won using the Integra, cementing it as one of the most successful race products of all time.
