The new welded aluminum stem from the makers of the first welded aluminum stem. It's super-lightweight at 185 grams and since it's 3D forged and welded aluminum.
Who cares what this thing weighs. Beefy welds give me peace of mind. I especially like the open section on the a$$ end of the stem where it clamps the steerer tube.

I think it fullfills anything i want in a stem. Light, strong, stiff and not to expensive. And good looks. What more is there?

Bike Setup:
S-Works. Can ya dig?
Bottom Line:
Nice stuff. Its hard to imagine a nicer stem outside the foolish realm of titanium parts (me and my aluminum parts will take it to you anyday, chumps). Anyway, the graphics have worn off the sides a little, but I do crash alot for a good racer. Other than that, its a darn good part.
