Description:Forged from Truvativ's AL-66 alloy, the Team XC stem uses no welds in the construction. Stiff and strong, yet lightweight enough for discriminating cross-country racers. The Team SL is reversible for +/-5 degree rise. 80-90-100-110-120-130mm lengths. 25.4mm bar clamp diameter. Fits 1 1/8" steerer tubes. Steerer clamp height 38mm. For cross-country use. Weight: 176g. Blast Black, Mirror Black, Mirror Blue, or Silver Polish finish.
This stem looks great with the silver look I've got with this bike. Nice polished finish. Stiff, no flex. Stout without being heavy. Can get great deals on this stem. I've used Syntace products in the past and have had no problems whatsoever, but came across this stem on sale and decided to give it a try. Overall very nice. A pleasant suprise for the money.

Strengths:
very light, nice looks, strong, works well with carbon, large selection of lengths, good price, bike handling boost.
This is a fantastic product. I had been riding some old, high rise piece of junk, and once I got carbon bars, I was looking for a good stem. This is THE BEST. You can't go wrog with one of these. They will make a noticable difference in the way your bike handles, including a boost in front end responsiveness. BUY THIS STEM!!!! For XC, it is simply the only way to go.
