Strengths: Stylish design and light weight.Weaknesses: Lacks stiffness, noticeable flex while climbing.Bottom Line: I am only ten stone and rarely notice flex in components but I think this stem is just too light. I've replaced it with a Thompson and I'm much happier. Only choose this if you think you can live with the flex and lack of stiffness. It looks nice and is extremely light, but I don't think it performs well enough.

Strengths: Looks great on anybike, comes in standard and oversize clamp sizes, which is excellent. Very light weight, comes with shims for different steerer tubes.Weaknesses: It is a bit pricey for just a little bit of weight savings.Bottom Line: Very nice stem I must say. Makes you bike look like a piece of artwork, especially when it is paired with the WCS handlebar. If you can pick it up for a good price go for it, otherwise it is just another piece of expensive hardware.

Strengths: Light, finish.Weaknesses: Degree, poor quality allen boltsBottom Line: Stem it's light and nice. I don't like the degree, i prefer the 0 degree stems but Ritchey has other idea.
I had to replace 2 allen bolts.
Mount it on XC bike and you'll be happy but do not mount it on a trail/freeride bike.

Strengths: Lightweight & looks.Weaknesses: A bit too flexy.Bottom Line: I like Ritchey products and have used them for years. I just find the WCS to be too flexy. Didn't really notice when riding SID forks but now that forks have progressed to 32MM stanchions it really shows how flexy this design is. I will be going back to Thomson.
