Strengths: Lightweight, priced great, looks good.Weaknesses: None so far.Bottom Line: Purchased as part of a combo with the low-riser bar. The OEM "brick" provided by Diamondback came in at a whopping 413 grams, this stem a svelte 128 grams. I like the minimal look, plain graphics and overall performance so far. Faceplate seems a little soft, but the handlebar is held securely. Can't beat this stem for the price!
Favorite Trail: Still looking for a great one...

Strengths: Strong, light weight, and cheap. It really takes a beating and performs flawlesslyWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Bang for the buck you can't get a better stem, it's 20 grams lighter than the Race Face Deus and $10 cheaper. It's a rock solid stem with a nice light design. I busted a fork from a steep drop then hard hit at the bottom and this stem survived.

Strengths: Strong, well finished, and light!Weaknesses: None at all.Bottom Line: This is a fine example of affordable quality.
If you are looking for an excellent stem that will compete with anything else on the market for a fraction of the cost, this is it! The finishing is matte black with clean lines. It is simple to mount, and will compliment any quality rig. After one racing season, this stem has served me well, and has never loosened, providing a confident ride. I am pleased with my purchase, and you will be too!

Strengths: Light, stiff, inexpensiveWeaknesses: None so farBottom Line: I wanted to try a shorter stem but didn't want to dish out the cash for a Thompson or Easton, so I gave this a shot. I've purchased Sette products in the past and have been very pleased with the quality and price.
I got the 100mm stem and the weight is quite light while still being stiff. I've taken it on some burly downhills and technical singletrack and have been impressed.

Strengths: Weight, Price and quality of machining (ie no welds- all cold forged).Weaknesses: None that I can see/feel.Bottom Line: This is almost too good to be true. The Stem is 126g light. It looks sleek and the four bolt face place is perfect for my carbon bars. I simply can't fault the Edge stem- it's strong, light and the price is so right.

Strengths: Price! weight! Strength and a great black color! This is very similar to the Ritchey WCS stem at a crazy price. I checked the forums and others agree that this is very similar to the RitcheyWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Seeing how this is almost the same stem as the Ritchey WCS which is about 100 bucks I think you can make the choice $100 or $25????

Strengths: Four blt faceplate, tough finish, weight.Weaknesses: None that I can seeBottom Line: Love this stem! It's stiff and looks good. The four bolt face plate holds the bar where its meant to be! The stem looks very similar to the Ritchey WCS which retails for 4x the price. If I have the choice between the two I would take the Edge stem because it is of the same quality and and much much cheaper. 5 chilis all the way!!!!
