Cane Creek’s latest product isn’t a groundbreaking gravel suspension fork or a colorful rim brake, but it is something that many bikes need. As far as Cane Creek’s lineup goes, this is one of their simpler products, but it looks like a cool, lightweight, and handsome stem, so let’s check out the details.
Let’s start with the weight. The GXC has a claimed weight of 96g for a 60mm stem. That’s a pretty light aluminum stem. The GXC is made from forged and machined 6066 aluminum and uses stainless steel hardware.
GXC Claimed Weight
- 60mm: 96g
- 70mm: 104g
- 80mm: 112g
- 90mm: 116g
- 100mm: 120g
GXC Details
The GXC sports “ghosted, laser etched” branding which looks low-key and attractive. Cane Creek GXC comes in polished black or polished silver. It’s a premium finish that would usually be on stems that could cost twice as much.
The new stem has an angle of +/- 6 degrees and is compatible with Cane Creek’s computer mount. It has a stack height of 42mm and uses a 31.8mm bar clamp. It comes in five length options: 60mm, 70mm, 80mm, 90mm, and 100mm.
Made specifically for gravel and cross-country mountain bikes, the GXC uses an aesthetic that “matches the overall size, shape, and proportions of modern gravel and cross-country frames.
