Not aware of any. Why would you want a stiff handlebar, stem, or seatpost?

As far as stems and seatposts go, Thomson would be my pick.

Thomson for the seatpost and stem, they are built like a tank. I have an FSA K-force compact handlebar that is really stiff.

I've got all three on my bike and they are very stiff. The Thomson X2 paired of with the FSA K-Force Carbon bars is a suprisingly stiff combo.
