Darimo's carbon forge, which is located in beautiful Valencia on the east coast of Spain, has been producing some of the lightest carbon parts for XC bikes and racing bikes for some time now.

With the Nexum stem-handlebar unit, Darimo Carbon is once again clearly raising the bar. At a self-weighed 216g (420 mm/110 mm/-6°), the Nexum stem-handlebar unit weighs less than most road bike handlebars without a stem. Thanks to the many widths and stem lengths, everyone will find the setup that suits them best. Titanium screws and aluminum barrel nuts help save additional weight and ensure reliable clamping on your fork shaft.

The stem-handlebar unit is available widths of 360 mm, 380 mm, 400 mm, 420 mm or 440 mm, measured from center to center. The stem length is 70 mm - 130 mm in 10 mm increments and the -6° stem angle allows you to achieve a sporty sitting position. All handlebar widths offered have a compact reach of 77 mm and 128 mm drop. The flattened upper part ensures comfort when the tour or race takes a little longer. Guides for brake and shift cables laminated on the underside help you to assemble everything perfectly.

The stem may be clamped to the fork shaft with a maximum of 3.5 Nm. A torque of up to 4 Nm is permitted in the clamping area of the shift/brake levers. Please approach the necessary torque for secure fastening and do not exceed the maximum values. We recommend using a high-quality carbon paste during assembly. Two M5 threaded bushings with a distance of 29 mm from each other are laminated below the handlebars. At this point you can securely attach a computer holder or similar accessories.

Nexum Drag stem/handlebar unit weighs 218g (380 mm/100 mm/-6°/6° flare), which is less than most road handlebars without a stem. Thanks to the many variations, everyone will find the right setup for themselves and their bike. Titanium bolts and aluminum barrel nuts help to save even more weight and ensure reliable clamping on the steerer tube.

The stem/handlebar unit is available in different finishes and in handlebar widths of 360 mm, 380 mm, 400 mm, 420 mm or 440 mm, measured from center to center. There is a choice of stem lengths from 70 mm to 130 mm in 10 mm increments and stem angles of -6° or -12°. Darimo has also taken into account the desire for different flare variations, so the Gravel version with its flare of 16° and a flare out of a further 5° at the handlebar ends offers you a high degree of freedom of movement and plenty of safety and comfort in the drop. If you want something less, we recommend the Road versions with 0° or 6° flare. All versions on offer have a compact reach of 77 mm and 128 mm drop. The flat top link minimizes the area exposed to the wind and also allows your hands to be supported comfortably, so you can ride long distances without getting tired. Laminated guides on the underside for brake and shift cables help you to mount everything perfectly.

The stem can be clamped to the steerer tube with a maximum torque of 4 Nm. A torque of up to 4 Nm is also permitted in the clamping area of the shift/brake levers. Please approach the required torque for secure fastening and do not exceed the maximum values. We recommend using a high-quality carbon paste during assembly. The existing stem clamping surface must be at least 32 mm. Two M5 threaded bushes are laminated underneath the handlebars with a distance of 29 mm between them. At this point you can securely attach a computer holder or similar accessories.

In order to achieve the sensational weight of 218g (380 mm/100 mm/-6°), to pass the standard ISO 4210-2 test and to be able to approve the components up to 90 kg system weight, Darimo Carbon uses a specially developed lamination process. Depending on the handlebar width and stem length, the layer structure is optimally adapted.
