NITTO MT-10 Dirt Drop Quill Stem | 25.4mm
The MT-10 is Nitto's dirt drop stem — designed for the era when mountain bikes ran horizontal top tubes and small frames, and riders wanted drop bars without sacrificing height. A 35° upward extension angle puts the bars where you need them, whether you're on a vintage Bridgestone, a modern gravel rig, or anything in between.
Forged aluminium, polished silver, made in Japan. Available in five column and extension combinations to dial in your position precisely.

Choosing Your Size
The variant name shows column length first, then extension — e.g. L225-E80 means a 225mm column with 80mm extension. Longer columns suit smaller frames where you need more height. If you're converting a vintage MTB to drop bars, L225 is usually the starting point.
Why Nitto
Nitto has been handcrafting bicycle components in Osaka, Japan since 1923. The MT-10 is a piece of cycling history that still makes complete sense today.
