I met Bronson when he testing out his first prototype I’ve seen him to continue to peruse and dial in and truly believe in this product through the years. All the while people telling him it wouldn’t work. So cool to see the traction he’s got in recently In An Industry full of copycats it’s refreshing to see this type of product!

Full disclosure, this is not an ad, and Reece has no obligation to say anything. I had no say in the video, and only just watched it a few minutes ago. We have talked through Instagram some on and off for over a year, but recently he sent me a message saying that he was ready to try it. I've been for years trying to get a rider of his caliber to try it, but I'm always met with that either they can't because of sponsor conflicts, or they simply don't want to because they don't think it will work despite never having tried it... Huge thank you to Reece Wilson for taking the chance and taking it seriously! You never learn if you don't experiment, and this is just the beginning!<br><br>RR stems are available for preorder from the next batch currently, so place your order now to ensure you get one!

For the past five years I’ve been riding bicycles actively, and for the last two years I’ve been riding downhill — purely as an amateur. At the same time, I’m constantly searching for ways to improve the feel and control of the bike I ride.<br>Two years ago, I discovered Rulzman on YouTube and his concept of a handlebar stem mounted above the steerer tube. The idea immediately caught my attention.<br>For years, I’ve had a lack of confidence in the front end of the bike, combined with chronic arm fatigue during descents. I was looking for a solution that would shorten the distance between my hands and the handlebar, allowing my elbows to stay in a strong, stable position — essential for control and maneuverability while descending.<br>The idea and the concept instantly clicked in my mind.<br>Since I couldn’t afford such a stem, I decided to build my own version — heavier, but guided by the same logic and principles.<br>The moment I installed it and rode for the first time, I realized that despite my amateur skills, I could ride more aggressively and with far greater confidence.<br>I can say with 100% certainty that this concept opens up completely new aspects of downhill riding.🙌

Makes perfect sense, I rode a couple of MX bikes before getting into MTB and this is something I always wondered about. Instead of pushing down you lean forward for front weight.

The fork steerer tubes need to be manufactured longer then we can make the head tubes longer and no need extended stems.
