Product Details

Overview & Technology

The Chromag HiFi 35 brings the proven geometry of the HiFi family into a 35mm clamp format for modern MTB handlebars. Built using a 3D forging process, the HiFi 35 optimizes material grain flow and removes stress risers so you get excellent strength-to-weight performance and a smooth, fatigue-resistant structure. Smoother shape transitions and an improved surface finish don't just look good — they reduce sharp edges that can concentrate stress and improve rider confidence under hard use. The stem clamps a standard 1-1/8" steerer and comes in 0° angle with two length options (35mm and 50mm) to suit a range of cockpit setups.

Key Features

The HiFi 35 combines practical features for aggressive trail riding with refined manufacturing. • 3D forged aluminum body for high strength and light weight (175g for 35mm). • 35mm bar clamp for modern MTB handlebars and improved stiffness. • 1-1/8" steerer clamp standard fit for most threadless forks and headsets. • 0° rise for a neutral cockpit height and direct steering feel. • Available lengths: 35mm and 50mm to tune reach and handling. • Four-bolt faceplate ensures even clamping pressure and secure bar retention. Available in Black, Red, and Silver finishes, the HiFi 35 balances durability and style for trail and all-mountain riders.

Fit & Compatibility

The HiFi 35 is designed for bikes with a straight 1-1/8" threadless steerer and handlebars with a 35mm clamp diameter. That 35mm clamp diameter matches modern downhill, enduro, and aggressive trail bars for a stiffer, more direct steering connection. If you run a tapered steerer (1.5" to 1-1/8"), you can still fit this stem if your headset and top cap region use a 1-1/8" top cover and you have a compatible fork top. For carbon handlebars, follow carbon-specific installation notes: use a carbon assembly paste, tighten to manufacturer torque limits, and avoid overtightening to prevent damage.

Who It's For

The HiFi 35 targets riders who want a short, stiff stem for aggressive trail, all-mountain and enduro-style riding. The 35mm clamp and 0° angle suit riders who prefer quick steering and a compact cockpit — ideal for technical singletrack, jump lines, and bikepark laps. Choose the 35mm length if you want maximum agility and quick handling; pick the 50mm variant to gain a bit more reach and stability for higher-speed sections or longer riders. The refined finish and color options also make it a popular choice for riders who want function and good looks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the HiFi 35 fit my tapered steerer fork?

The HiFi 35 clamps a straight 1-1/8" steerer. If your fork is tapered you'll need a headset/top cover that provides a 1-1/8" bearing interface at the stem (or a matching adaptor). Many riders with tapered forks can fit a 1-1/8" top cap arrangement; check your headset and fork specifications before purchasing.

Can I use carbon handlebars with this aluminum stem?

Yes — the HiFi 35 can be used with carbon bars, but you must follow carbon bar installation best practices: use carbon assembly paste, tighten bolts gradually and evenly, and adhere to the handlebar manufacturer's torque limits. Avoid overtightening the faceplate to prevent bar damage.

What torque should I use on the faceplate and steerer bolts?

Torque values vary by component and fastener size. As a safe baseline, many builders tighten faceplate bolts in small, alternating increments to manufacturer specs (often in the 5–8 Nm range for faceplate bolts). Always check Chromag's documentation or the fastener markings and use a calibrated torque wrench for installation.

How do I choose between the 35mm and 50mm lengths?

Pick 35mm for nimble, quick steering and a shorter reach — great for technical trail and jump-focused riding. Choose 50mm to increase reach for more stable high-speed handling or for taller riders. Consider your current cockpit, riding style, and whether you want to move weight forward or back.

What is the weight difference between the 35mm and 50mm versions?

The 35mm HiFi weighs approximately 175g. The 50mm version is slightly heavier due to the extra material; expect a modest weight increase. Exact weight for the 50mm variant varies by finish and manufacturing tolerance — contact Forest Bikes for verified measurements if weight is critical.

Which colors and finishes are available?

The HiFi 35 is offered in Black, Red, and Silver finishes. The surface has an improved finish and smooth transitions intended to resist wear and match modern component aesthetics.

Buying Guide

When choosing a stem for mountain biking, prioritize clamp diameter, length, and manufacturing quality. A 35mm clamp improves bar-to-stem stiffness and is standard for many modern MTB bars — giving more precise steering feedback on technical trails. Length choice (35mm vs 50mm) tunes handling: shorter stems = quicker steering, longer stems = more stability at speed. Look for stems made from forged aluminum for a good balance of strength and weight. Pay attention to faceplate design and bolt count (four-bolt plates distribute pressure evenly) and always follow torque specs and carbon-specific installation steps when mixing materials.
