The XR-Gear Orienteering Map Board – Short Stem is built for adventure racers and orienteers who demand fast, hands-free map access on technical terrain. Designed specifically for short-stem handlebars, this board keeps your map exactly where you need it — directly in your line of sight — so you never have to slow down to check your route.
Crafted from durable, lightweight carbon fiber ASA composite, the board resists flex, moisture, and the abuse of multi-hour races across any terrain. The 360-degree tool-free rotation system lets you dial in the perfect angle in seconds, while the secure Velcro attachment system holds firm through roots, rocks, and rough descents.
