The DMR Defy 35 stem’s squat stance gives it a purposeful look suited to any trail or enduro bike. The wide clamp that locks your bar in a vice-like grip.

It’s a little chunky when compared to many stems of similar strength, losing out by almost sixty grams over Renthal’s Apex. But this is really the only issue we have with the Defy. It clamps the bars securely and resists twisting and deflection incredibly well. It also comes at a price that makes it a very attractive option. And to make it even better the Defy ships with a matching DMR branded top cap to keep everything matching.
