I'm trying to find this stem in 90mm length. Not available at Decathlon. KTM do it but not in the length I need and the decals wouldn't suit
Thanks for your help.
I don’t think that exact stem exists in 90mm (website lists a load of sizes, but not 90mm, BTWIN is a decathlon brand so if that don’t list it, I imagine no one will)
However if you type ‘90mm road stem -8 ’ into Google, bazillions of options come up, from £20 to £300.
It's the flat top style that I'm looking for, but thank you.The KTM Team stem is exactly the same but not in the size I need. So, the exact style is not available? Is their any other stem that has the flat top style? I thought I'd found one by Giant but it can only be used with an odd sounding internal steering system.

looks like a syntace stem to me.
Is this any good? 90mm in stock. - https://www.merlincycles.com/controltech-cougar-8-semi-internal-drop-stem-304865.html
I've no idea what semi-internal drop stem means!
-- Edit --
Scrap that, it must be used with a specific headset - sorry.
Perhaps this one? - https://www.bike24.com/p2420868.html?sku=1448131
That's the one I thought would work Pjay but I don't think it will. The other one has ridge for the clamp. The Syntace has ridges for the stem bolts so not suitable, either.
That's the closest I've seen so far so that might be the one that will do. It looks like a slight rise at the bar clamp but I can probably live with that. Thank you
Is there a reason other than aesthetics that it needs to be flat?
(Just being nosey)
No other reason. Purely aesthetic. Aero benefits are wasted on me.
What’s the issue with the Control Tech Falcon, I had one on a previous bike and it fits a standard steerer and headset? I removed the graphics with nail polish remover and a bit of effort.
The top cap on the Control Tech put me off a little.

In what way? It's designed to be integrated into the rest of the stem for aesthetic / aero purposes, so unless you want to run spacers on top (which will have a negative aesthetic and aero effect) I don't see the issue.
