DMR Defy Vapour Blast MTB Stem – 35mm / 50mm Reach – 31.8mm / 35mm – Black Silver Bronze

DMR Defy Vapour Blast MTB Stem The DMR Defy Vapour Blast Stem is a premium CNC-machined mountain bike stem designed for modern trail, enduro, all-mountain, dirt jump and MTB builds. Built around DMR’s proven Defy platform, the stem combines CNC-machined 6061 aluminium construction, a wide handlebar clamp, low stack height and a strong, durable design to provide a secure and confidence-inspiring connection between your handlebars and steerer. Unlike ultra-lightweight stems that rely on minimal construction and small hardware, the DMR Defy is deliberately built tough. It is designed for riders who want a strong, stiff and dependable MTB stem that can handle hard riding without unnecessary compromise. The Vapour Blast finish adds a distinctive ultra-smooth matte appearance, with Black, Silver and Bronze finishes available. This listing gives you a choice of 35mm or 50mm reach, plus 31.8mm or 35mm handlebar clamp diameter, allowing you to choose the correct DMR Defy stem for your bike and handlebar setup. 🔧 Choose Your DMR Defy Stem DMR Defy35 & Defy35+ 35mm reach 31.8mm / 35mm handlebar clamp 25mm rise 27mm stack height 1 1/8″ steerer CNC 6061 aluminium Top-close handlebar clamp Cromoly bolts The Defy35 is an excellent choice for modern mountain bikes where a short stem is preferred. The 35mm reach works particularly well with modern trail and enduro geometry, while the 25mm rise can provide a more upright and confidence-inspiring riding position. The Defy35+ provides the same compact 35mm reach and 25mm rise but is designed for handlebars using the increasingly popular 35mm clamp diameter. DMR Defy50 + Defy50+ 50mm reach 31.8mm / 35mm handlebar clamp 23.5mm rise 31mm stack height 1 1/8″ steerer CNC 6061 aluminium Internal clamping design Stem cap included The Defy50 offers a longer 50mm reach while retaining the tough, purposeful construction of the Defy range. It is suited to riders looking for a slightly longer cockpit or a 50mm stem for their particular bike setup. The Defy50+ combines the 50mm reach with a 35mm handlebar clamp, making it suitable for modern MTB handlebars using the larger diameter. 💨 Vapour Blast Finish VB = Vapour Blast. DMR’s Vapour Blast process creates an ultra-smooth matte finish that gives the Defy stem a distinctive appearance while complementing modern mountain bike builds. Available colours include: ⚫ Black ⚪ Silver 🟤 Bronze Whether you’re building a stealthy black MTB, adding a contrasting component to your bike or putting together a more distinctive custom build, the Vapour Blast Defy gives you several finish options. 💪 Built Tough – CNC 6061 Aluminium The DMR Defy isn’t designed around chasing the lowest possible weight. Instead, DMR has prioritised strength, stiffness and durability. The stem is CNC machined from 6061 aluminium and uses substantial hardware, including cromoly bolts on the Defy35 platform. The wide clamping area helps provide excellent handlebar stability, while the top-close clamp design gives the stem a secure and purposeful appearance. It’s a stem designed to be installed, tightened correctly and forgotten about. As DMR puts it, the Defy is intended to be a “fit and forget” component – built to last rather than simply look good on a set of scales. 🚵 Designed for Modern Mountain Bikes The DMR Defy is particularly well suited to modern MTB geometry, where bikes increasingly feature: Longer front centres Slacker head angles Wider handlebars Shorter stems More aggressive trail and enduro geometry The 35mm Defy provides a compact cockpit setup while the 25mm rise can help achieve a more confident bar position. The 50mm Defy provides additional reach for riders and bikes where a longer stem is preferred. The wide handlebar clamp helps provide a secure connection between stem and bar, while the low stack design gives useful flexibility when setting up your handlebar height. DMR specifically positions the Defy range for enduro, trail, dirt jump and other MTB applications. ⭐ DMR Defy – Why Riders Choose It The Defy has received strong reviews from MTB publications, with MBR praising the squat design and wide handlebar clamp, while off.road.cc highlighted the Defy35+ for its stiffness, short stack height, substantial 6mm Allen bolts and tidy finish.

DMR Bikes has been designing and developing mountain bike components since 1995, with a long-standing reputation for producing tough, rider-focused MTB products. Its range includes some of the best-known components in mountain biking, including the legendary DMR V12 pedals and DeathGrip lock-on grips. DMR’s approach is straightforward: design products for riders, test them hard and continually improve them through real-world feedback. The Defy stem follows that philosophy.
