Strengths: Light, Tough, LooksWeaknesses: A little longer than I likeBottom Line: i have no creaks or bending. very responsive. i just wish it were a bit shorter but other than that i like it. I thought about getting another stem but why change what isnt broken.
the price is a little high, but like i said it came stock with my bike so im going to give it 5/5

Strengths: weight looks finishWeaknesses: Flex, not as light as advertised, creaking noiseBottom Line: Too much flex for a 165 pound rider and the creaking noise that made me stop using it- I thought something might break- went back to the stock aluminum stem with better steering precision, no scary noise and a small weight penalty.
The stem weighed 150 without the hardware- so like 180gm with bolts

Strengths: Fantastic lightweight stem, that looks the Mutt's Nuts.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: What a difference a change makes. I haven't gone hardcore on the stem yet (only put it on my bike last night) but already I feel comfortable with it. Titec do a lighter Ti stem, but I'm well pleased with this benchmark item...looking forward to giving it a good thrashing this weekend!

Strengths: Super light and strong. What a handsome stem!Weaknesses: None yetBottom Line: What a sharp looking stem! I was very saddened to replace my MG60, Easton's magnesium 0rise-110mm but they do not make a 135mm. I wanted to move my weight over cockpit forward by 1" to help keep my front end down while climbing, so I went to a 135mm stem and took off my ea50 seatpost with a 1" set back and put on an LP carbon straight.Mission accomplished and if you are considering this stem...DO IT!Five flaming everythings because sometimes you get exactly what you pay for!
