Description:Forged and machined from AL-6061-T6 alloy, the Holzfeller stem is our strongest option for DH and freeride use. Six-degree rise and 3 lengths--40-60-75mm. 25.4mm or 318.mm bar clamp diameter. Blast Black, Mirror Black or Tech Polish finish
Good stem highly recommended. To the guy whose rated them 1/5 I think you must have had a dodgy dealer because they are really good guality stem's especially for the price.

Strengths:
NONE
Weaknesses:
Fabricated very poorly... bolt busted on installation to their recommended settings. Face wasn't symetrical ... said it was supposed to fit a 1 1/8 steer tube.. and it was super loose .. at their specs.
Bike Setup:
AS-X 66rc 05
Bottom Line:
I wouldn't pedal with that ever.. i would be afraid the thing would bust at any time... NEVER buy this stem. Get something that isn't stamped out in haste. .. the worst part is Truvativ and the place i bought the thing wouldn't answer my emails..

Bike Setup:
AC2 - Swinger 4 way coil - psylo (stiff) up front, rhyno lites, avid mech disks
Bottom Line:
looks great on the bike, made in all the right lengths, hollow so not as much of a weight penalty as other dh stems, 4 bolt bar clamp. It looks to be really well made. mine is black and the finish on it is really perfect. you can feel the quality and stiffness.
