Transform your detecting experience with the XP Telescopic Stem Superlight. Engineered for peak performance, this full carbon fiber shaft assembly is XP’s lightest stem yet, giving you perfect balance and dramatically reducing fatigue without compromising on rugged stability.
Why Choose the XP Telescopic Stem Superlight?
If you are serious about marathon hunts, the XP Telescopic Stem Superlight (D044SUPERLIGHT) is a game-changing upgrade. Built by XP Metal Detectors, this premium shaft is constructed from a high-tech carbon fiber weave. It drastically cuts weight while actually improving rigidity, meaning you experience less flex and vibration while swinging.
At Serious Detecting, we love this stem for its complete out-of-the-box readiness. Unlike some of the Lite stems, the Superlight comes as a complete assembly featuring a carbon middle stem and the ultra-light D03-C carbon lower stem. At just 9.5 ounces for the upper section and 1.76 ounces for the lower section, it is a highly noticeable upgrade over standard XP DEUS setups.

Key Benefits for the Serious Detectorist
- Ultra-Lightweight Carbon Build: Shaves off massive weight compared to standard stems. The upper and middle carbon section weighs just 9.5 ounces, saving you .25 pds instantly.
- Includes Lower Carbon Stem: Comes complete with the 1.76 ounces carbon fiber lower stem (D03-C), offering immediate out-of-the-box coil attachment.
- Stiffer, Smoother Swings: The carbon fiber construction reduces flex and coil bounce, resulting in greater control and a much smoother sweep across uneven terrain.
- Patented S-Shape Ergonomics: Designed to fit the natural geometry of your arm, giving you a fluid, effortless detecting experience that minimizes shoulder strain.
