Utilizing fully CNC machined aluminum and advanced manufacturing techniques, the Split-Second Stem cannot be matched. Our uniquely designed stem not only offers superior strength, but is extremely light weight, thus creating the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio of any stem we have tested. Such impressive torsional rigidity is due to its oversized 55mm clamp width and unique split-clamp design. Proudly made in the USA.

Strengths: Light as fvck. Cutting the steer tube saves weight, so does not have a stem cap. saves tons of weight. this has to be the sexiest part on my bike too.
Weaknesses: no one has heard/tried one of these amazing stems!!
Bottom Line:
if you'r a racer, and are looking for the fastest lightest stuff possible, this is your stem. if you're a hucker, xc rider, or worried about cutting your steer tube, don't get this. i just wish i could give it more than 5 chilis.
Bike Setup: Intense socom, white 40, I9 wheels, trick build

Strengths: Lightest FR stem I know of.
Weaknesses: Have to cut steer tube to exact length. Not a big deal to me.
Bottom Line:
This stem rocks. Light, strong. Whatelse to you need from a stem. I'm 200lbs and ride hard doing drops and jumps. Most stems I've used have shifted on me. This one is solid.
