HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Quicktwist® stem joint and locking mechanism are totally unique, there is nothing like it on the market anywhere in the world. The two halves of the stem are securely together at all times but the (patent pending) joint allows the two halves to rotate up to 90 degrees in either direction. There are also large diameter ‘locking’ pins around the central bolt that are always pushed into the corresponding holes. NOTE – it is not possible for the handlebars to be in the horizontal riding position without being safely locked. In addition there is a second fail-safe in the form of a security seat-style clamp. The handlebars can only be rotated when the clamp is released and the ‘collar’ is pulled back towards the rider thereby releasing the internal locking pins. The Quicktwist® stem will carry the same BS/EN/ISO international safety standard testing marks as every other component part of your bike.
We are hoping to announce some very exciting Quicktwist® news soon – stay tuned!
