Date Reviewed: June 22, 2000
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Strengths:looks, weight and exclucivity
Weaknesses:It is a pure cross country product, which is to be used with a staight, not too long handle bar, if used with a long riser bar it can be a bit flexy, but then again it is one of the lightest stems on the market!!!(130 grams is not much now is it)

Bike Setup:FRM be active, Rond/magura comp pro fork, shock works DD rear shock, magura raceline and lots of beautiful FRM products(which I think are not available in USA(to bad)
Bottom Line:Killerbee product for the weight savers among us, who like some italien chique

Date Reviewed: December 7, 1999
Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Strengths:
very light
well-made and finished
surprisingly stiff
Weaknesses:
Printed lettering rubs off easily. Only available with 6º rise.
Bolts are not stainless steel.
Similar Products Used:
Ritchey CompLite
Pace RC-45
Tahoma
Bike Setup:
GIANT ATX-990 with Stratos HelixPro Shock, Pace Evo Pro fork and full XTR kit
Bottom Line:An exceptionally light (125g for 120mm) and stiff stem that I would recommend to my grandma. Unfortunately it is only available with a 6º rise. It is however reversible. Bolts should be stainless steel to avoid any possible rust.
