Date Reviewed: June 22, 2004
Favorite Trail:Blue Marsh
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $40.00
Purchased At:www.monkamoo.com
Strengths:light weight (Ti screws) but stiff; comes in various colors; Made in Austria
Weaknesses:hard to come by.
Similar Products Used:titec, race face
Bike Setup:2003 Bergwerk Faunus Carbon Fully, all xt, mavix x317, hope mini's, thomson post, fox f100x ('04)
Bottom Line:the other posts I tried worked all well, but might have looked a little bulky (but not in a giving you confidence in the strength kind of way - especially the Titec.
The Roox XC is beautiful machined piece of equipment. Don't get confused when you buy the 90mm version. It's called junior, because of the length, but it the same as the XC.

Submitted by Craig a Cross-Country Rider from Bellevue WA
Date Reviewed: November 18, 1999
Favorite Trail:
Lillooet BC
Duration Product Used:
2 Years
Strengths:
Incredible strength and no flex. Top of the pile. No steer tube bolts are exposed. Lots of size & rise options, colors, fair price for the quality
Weaknesses:
Even the cross country is a little portly, but again, it is stiff and never loosen's up, so it really isn't a weakness then!!
Similar Products Used:
Axiom, Bontrager, Syncros-hinged & regular.
Bike Setup:
'98 Cove Ti Hummer w/Z2 Bam.
Bottom Line:Like the Danny's stem, this stem is really over-built and stays rigid over all hits. It weighs less than the Danny's so it's a good choice for lighter people, say under 180lbs. It can survive the North Shore but for really heavy use choose the Danny's! A really good stem for what it was designed to do-all around x-country.
Overall Rating:5
