Your City Bike Deserves Better — Meet the Ultimate Urban Upgrade

The Space Problem
City bikes are expected to do it all—fast, reliable, secure, and tough enough for potholes and car doors. But there’s one thing they rarely solve: storage. Condos are smaller, hallways tighter, and elevators crowded. Locking up in a basement parkade? That’s more hassle than freedom.
THINstem: Turn Handlebar Instantly Narrow
Other folding stems pivot at the fork steerer, leaving handlebars awkwardly angled. THINstem is different. Its patented design rotates at the head of the stem, bringing the handlebar perfectly in line with the frame for a sleeker and more compact profile.
Slim by Over 60%
Paired with folding pedals, a bike with an 82 cm handlebar (plus a mirror) can shrink to just 25 cm wide. The straight front wheel stays planted, so there’s no risk of tipping over from a turned bar. Ideal for narrow hallways, tight elevators, and small condo entries.
Quick, Secure, Ready to Roll
A flick of the lever rotates the handlebar. Slide your bike into the hallway. Park beside a café table or in your office—no side-eye from coworkers. Version 4.0 includes patent-pending blocking tabs to prevent accidental rotation, even with the lever open.
Don’t Just Stop—SABS Stop
SABS brake pads act like silent anti-lock brakes—mechanical, smooth, and reliable. They reduce front-wheel lock-up, boost control, and calm panic stops or accidental endos.
A Smarter Upgrade
Add folding pedals and your bike becomes city-ready: easier to carry, store, and ride on the fly. THINstem even raises bar height slightly—many riders say it feels more natural. Lean it against a wall in THIN mode without the dreaded flop.
Sometimes the smartest upgrade isn’t a new bike—it’s making the one you love work better for your life.
