Answer 5 questions to find the perfect Stems for your bike!
Most MTB stems slide onto a fork steerer of 1.1/8" diameter before being tightened.
Downhill bikes use a stem that mounts directly on top of a downhill-specific fork.

Your stem must match the handlebar clamp size. MTB Handlebars come in 31.8mm and 35mm. This should be printed on the bars or can be measured by calipers.
35mm handlebars can be stiffer than 31.8mm while maintaining a similar weight.
Buy a stem to match your current bars or purchase new bars & stem at the same time.

Shorter stems (>50mm) offer a more direct steering feel and pair well with modern trail and enduro bikes.
Longer stems can be used to create a perfect bike fit on XC bikes.

Most MTB stems are flat, and rely on the rise of handlebars for fit adjustment.
Some stems with a large rise can be used upside down for the same amount of drop - which can help keep body weight directly over the front wheel (loved by some XC racers).
This list is of the 'general' colours (green, blue, etc.).
Brand specific colour names like "Fruity Twist" are grouped under their actual colour (that one is purple).
