Strengths: Stiffness, Rise, WeightWeaknesses: Finish (would prefer something like the Thompson or Truvati)Bottom Line: Great deal for the money. Really stiff. I wanted a DH stem with a little rise and 10 degrees is perfect for me. Got a super deal at JensonUSA. No flex felt when taking drops and hitting the rock gardens.

Strengths: LightnessWeaknesses: none until nowBottom Line: I wanted something light and strong, and see this with a good price - after founding one, I didn`t think a lot!
Great buy, and reduced by almost 100grm the front of my bike (yes I know... that`s not a lot! But it`s ok!)

Strengths: Strong and Beefy
10° riseWeaknesses: Doesn't make pancakesBottom Line: I don't ride DH, but this stem is pretty light for a DH and is in or near the weight range of other AM stems- but stronger.
I was looking for a 60 - 65 mm stem with some rise (due to short steerer tube). I bought this for the nice 10° rise, which isn't too much for a 65 mm stem, just a nice 11.5 mm (0.45") total.
It's very well made, as you'd expect from Easton, looks good, and is stiff as all get out. I don't know why the 1st poster had an issue, it sure doesn't flex or creak with me (165 lbs). Maybe it was his spacers or headset if the stem wasn't tensioned properly. Dunno. The thing is solid.
Works well. When I turn the bars, the front wheel turns, every time. Perfect.

Strengths: Awesome stem light, strong, and stiffWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: That other guy is trippin it does not flex. This stem is light and stiff, I've never felt it flex ever, and I ride hard up and down. Pair it up with an easton bar and it's rock solid, I've used it for two years and it's never had a problem.

Strengths: Looks great, opposing bolts clamp well, light weightWeaknesses: more flex than expectedBottom Line: This stem looks good, bolts up well and never feels like it is going to come loose. Unfortunately, in the 65mm X 10 degree version at least, it twists when you are cranking on the bars. In fact it flexes before the forks do (I expect bar flex but this is the first time I have noticed it in a stem).
This may not actually affect the riding feel much but if I can flex the stem noticeably while cranking on the bars then I imagine it will be worse when riding hard. It definately felt different than the Eveolve stem I was using (which doesn't twist) and I noticed that difference so this stem is coming off the bike soon.
Shorter sizes may be better, but if you are a big guy or you really work the bars when riding then I wouldn't buy this product.
