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.
Bottom Line:
This stem does all it's supposed to without causing any problems of its own.
