PROJEKT ROAM: Dig It Camaraderie. Dust. Sweat. Exertion. Chatter and laughter. Embellished tales. But a few descriptives actively depicting a trail day in any biking community...

Long Term Review: ESP 13r BMX Stem

Over the last several months we have been testing the ESP 13r stem.  This bike has seen duty at the track and a little at the local skate park and dirt jumps.  The 13r has been hanging in there like a champ.  But what makes this stem stick out from the pack are its clean lines, custom appearance and light weight.  The ESP 13r is only 8.1 oz.  It uses a twin beam design on the body with a full cap that blends in nicely and makes for a very solid stem.  Hardware consists of solid stainless bolts. ESP did not sacrifice strength yet, still managed to mill out just about every nanometer of this … [Read More...]
