A nifty four bolt removable bar clamp highlights this cold forged aluminum stem from Pazzaz. 2014 series aluminum construction for strength. 25.4 mm clamp fits standard MTB handlebars.

Purchased At:
Price Point - Sette brand
Strengths:
Billed as cold forged 2014- light, strong, looks good, can't beat the price
Weaknesses:
None so far.
Similar Products Used:
Lots and lots of stems since 1989. Tioga T-Bone to Thomson X2.
Bike Setup:
2004 Hammerhead 100X with Fox F100RLC, Float ProPedal, Magura Martas & Pro wheelset, XTR, XT, Race Face and Sette bits. Can't forget the Kenda Blue Groove 2.1 Stick-E's
Bottom Line:
This review is for the Price Point "Sette" brand stem that appears to be the same deal at the same price. Holding one next to the $90 Ritchey WCS on my road bike, they appear identical except for the polished faceplate of the Ritchey. The Sette was finished smoother and had nice laser engraving on it. No complaints after riding 2 of them over 1,000 miles in rocky Annadel State Park. I'm fine with spending bux on nice bits like Martas and Fox shocks, but finding a $90 stem for $25 makes my day.

EC 90 carbon bar used with this stem.
Bottom Line:
Are you kidding me? There isnt one thing wrong with this stem. Its light (mine weighed 138g), and strong. Im not paying anymore than I have to , and 12 bucks is a steal. If you want to waste money on a top-of-the-line name stem go ahead. But this stem will be lighter, and put more money in your wallet.
