World Premiere: The first flip chip Multi-Reach Stem
Flip chip technology has transformed suspension, chain lines, wheel positions and frame geometry. The Freakynuts® GameChanger Multi-Reach Stem brings it to the stem – reach adjustment has never been this simple.
The Freakynuts® GameChanger Multi-Reach Stem is the world’s first MTB stem to use a flip chip mechanism to adjust cockpit reach – a patent pending invention that introduces an entirely new category in mountain bike cockpit design.
The problem with every other stem
Every MTB stem ever made has one reach. If it doesn’t fit your riding position, you buy another one. Riders spend hundreds of dollars chasing the right length – and even then, one setup change can send you back to square one.
The GameChanger Multi-Reach Stem was built to end that.
How it works
The Freakynuts® GameChanger Multi-Reach Stem uses a precision-machined flip chip built into the stem body. Flip it one way and you get 35 mm reach. Flip it the other way and you get 45 mm. That’s it. One allen key. One hand. Done in seconds.
No structural compromise – the stem body is a single rigid CNC-machined unit. The flip chip sits at the interface and locks in place under full riding load. The stem is rock solid – zero play, zero flex under full riding load.
At launch, the stem ships with one flip chip giving you two positions: 35 mm and 45 mm. An optional add-on flip chip – available approximately two weeks after launch – unlocks the middle position of 40 mm, giving you three reach settings from one stem.
Built for the demands of every rider, every discipline
This stem was not engineered for weight saving – it was engineered for strength. Precision CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, the Freakynuts® GameChanger Multi-Reach Stem is built to handle the full demands of enduro, downhill, freeride, and gravity riding. Every prototype has been extensively tested under demanding conditions. This is not a concept – it’s a race-ready tool, backed by a patent pending design that no other brand can replicate.
Compatible with both single crown and dual crown forks. Features a 35 mm handlebar clamp, with 31.8 mm reducers optionally available shortly after launch.

Who it’s for
Every bike needs to be dialed in to the rider to perform at its best. Reach – the distance between your saddle and your handlebar – is one of the most important factors in how your bike handles, and the Freakynuts® GameChanger Multi-Reach Stem lets you influence it instantly.
Want to ride more aggressively, put more pressure on the front wheel at high speed? Set it to 45 mm. Want quicker, snappier steering – for spins, whips, or technical funpark laps? Flip it to 35 mm for short, fast, powerful bar movements. Somewhere in between? The optional 40 mm add-on chip puts you right there. Some trails call for high speed and front wheel pressure – go long. Others call for lightness and agility – go short. The flip chip changes in seconds, so your setup can change with the trail.
For young riders who are still growing, the Freakynuts® GameChanger Multi-Reach Stem gives parents a simple way to keep reach dialed in without buying a new stem every season.
Important: Dual Crown Fork Users
If you’re running a dual crown fork, do not cut your steerer tube too short. The Freakynuts® GameChanger Multi-Reach Stem requires sufficient clamping surface at each reach position to function correctly and safely. Leave extra steerer length now to keep all adjustment options open later – it’s a one-time decision that protects your investment in this system long-term.
Your Setup, Refined Over Time
The Freakynuts® GameChanger Multi-Reach Stem platform has been designed from the ground up with future expandability in mind. The optional 40 mm add-on flip chip is just the beginning – additional shim options are planned, giving you an increasingly personalized cockpit setup as the platform grows. As your riding evolves, so does your cockpit. Without ever buying a new stem.
