Review
Good all round stem well suited to those who like either a +6° rise or a -17° to comfortably set yourself up. I like the 4 bolt front plate and that 3T have kept the same size bolts for the other 2 that clamp the stem to the steerer tube. Small point but when you work on a few bikes it is convenient to be able to use the one allen key.
Overall I like the stem and have them mounted on two of my own personal bikes.
Latin for stronghold and bridge, ARX is 3T's race-proven design for the perfect connection between fork and handlebar, and suited to all cycling disciplines. Clamp design is optimized to ensure a secure fit on composite steerers and bars without the need for potentially damaging high torque values during assembly. 3T inhouse tests show ARX's clamp by far exceeds the CEN standard, and also that it works very well with other brands of handlebar. ARX PRO is the value model of the range, made of AL 2010, with the grain structure aligned for optimal strength. Weight is 135 g.
