Strengths:    CNC machined goodness, durability, strength, good warranty

Weaknesses:    None

Bottom Line:   
The Px meteor stem is a very good product. I have used it in conjunction with the Px Dh bar, and have found no faults what-so-ever. It is very burly for its size, and well machined...precision! It is not too expensive, available in many different lengths(personally have the 40mm version), and colors to suit your preference. NOTE: tighten the bolts every-so-often, or you may regret it.

Date Reviewed: July 11, 2001

Strengths:    This product is as strong as anything and also has a quality design and feel to it when you ride. The lengths are varied 40mm, 80mm, 90mm, 120mm and 140mm (dont hold me to them) and also come in so many colours to suit you all! This stem also has matching bars and pedals which finish of your bike.

Weaknesses:    None at all apart from the weight.

Bottom Line:   
The stem is excellent for those of you demanding quality by a top brand name at a low price however for those of you with more money and are worried about the weight then a easton magnesium stem may be the one for you.

Submitted by Dan Fitzy a Downhiller from UK

Date Reviewed: July 20, 2000

Strengths:    Looks amazing, lots of colour choice, LOOKS strong

Weaknesses:    Not enough choices of rises and lengths. LOOKS strong, but no way is it


Bottom Line:   
I can't believe it. I loved this stem right up until about 30 mins ago, when i landed a perfect drop and it snapped clean in half. Planet X will NOT replace it.
DON'T BUY THIS, there are better on the market for the price.

Submitted by Chris Williams a Downhiller from England

Date Reviewed: May 13, 2000

Strengths:    Very strong, Looks the dogs balls

Weaknesses:    None. this is the allmighty downhill stem for the rider that rides hard. it is a little bit to expensive at £50 but if you haggle with the shop keeper he should bringh it down a bit ( i got it for £35!)

Bottom Line:   
This is a kick ass stem. it rides better than any i have tested in the 12 years i have been riding. you will not be able to break it even if you tried. it is a little heavy but no heavier than any other downhill stem. go out and buy one today.
