Persist Components Triumph Direct Mount Stem - Parts Check
As direct mount stems become the norm on DH bikes, the number to choose from seems to be getting bigger every week. Persist Components from the UK is throwing their hat into the ring with their beautiful Triumph stem. Shipped stock with gold titanium bolts, the Triumph looks to be simple, strong, and light.

Direct mount stems are quickly becoming a dime a dozen out there. And while they all can get the job done, that is hold your bars in place, there is something to be said about a unit that stands out from the rest. Persist's latest offering, the Triumph, does just that. The UK produced Triumph stem is built with simplicity and solidarity in mind, just like a stem should be.

The Triumph is manufactured from a single piece of 6061 T6 aluminum, as opposed to many stems two piece designs. You won't find multiple drillings for playing with stem lengths, nor does it come with shims to mount a 25.4 mm bar. A single 50 mm length is the only one to choose from, which seems to make sense as that is the most common size riders are looking for. While there is a good number of direct mount stems that claim to be zero rise, if you look closer most are not. The Triumph is a true zero rise unit that will let you get your bars as low as possible.

The anodized black Triumph stem is finished like a fine piece of jewelry. All edges and angles are spot on clean and the finish is immaculate. It attaches via four, Grade 12.9 zinc plated steel bolts that slot into countersunk holes in the stem. Faceplate bolts are four, Grade 5 titanium units done in gold, also countersunk into the Triumph's front end. While some stems have nearly been machined away to nothing, the Triumph is clearly meant to inspire confidence. It has a fair number of 'speed holes' but certainly looks more solid than most. Total weight is a more than respectable 155 grams.
Whether you use a direct mount stem or not, most of us can agree that the Triumph is one fine piece of bicycle jewelry. Tell us what you think about it below!

Editor's Note: Check out the Persist Top Crown / Stem combothat we did a feature on 2 years ago - our pictures sure have come a long ways! Also note that they no longer make the top crowns as all fork manufacturers finally offer DM bolt holes for DM stems.

[bullets hit the car]
Homer: [suspicious] Hey, what are all these holes?
Salesman: [quickly] These are speed holes. They make the car go
faster.
Homer: Oh, yeah. Speed holes!
[bullets riddle the car and smash the windshield]
Salesman: You want my advice? I think you should buy this car.
Referring back to Seraphs comment, I can see what he means too: It does rather look like a Thomson X4 or the Thomson BMX stem suddenly turned into a direct mount.
And 120 dollars for a stem? f*ck you...
