Unquestionably the best value today in all-mountain stems, the Hell-Bent uses Titec's Ridge Line™ design to bring incredible torsional stiffness and strength to a stem weighing only 145g. This well-rounded package includes a 4-bolt faceplate with relieved center section and opposing clamp bolts for greater knee clearance.

Strengths:
Reasonably light weight for the money. Works well with Titec's C3 1.0 bar (31.8mm dia.) in that it grips the bar securely without slipping. Looks good and is rugged.
Weaknesses:
None but maybe it could be a bit lighter.
Bike Setup:
Dean Torreys Ti cyclocross frame, Alpha Q CX fork, Velomax Orion II wheelset, SRAM/Avid components, FSA crank/bb.
Bottom Line:
This stem does all it's supposed to without causing any problems of its own.
