Description:For XC riding and racing, it’s tough to match the standard we set with our Fat Head Ti stem. We used aerospace-grade 3/2.5 Titanium, welded together with an ingeniously minimalist single-bolt split steerer clamp and offset handlebar faceplate that eliminates direct stress on the bolts.
Material: Aerospace Grade 3AL / 2.5V Titanium
Construction: TIG-welded

Date Reviewed: November 8, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Price Paid: |
$75.00 | | Purchased At: | Jenson USA | | Strengths: | weight looks finish | | Weaknesses: | Flex, not as light as advertised, creaking noise | | Similar Products Used: | Kore | | Bike Setup: | Full XTR -Carbon GT Idrive | | Bottom Line: | Too much flex for a 165 pound rider and the creaking noise that made me stop using it- I thought something might break- went back to the stock aluminum stem with better steering precision, no scary noise and a small weight penalty.
The stem weighed 150 without the hardware- so like 180gm with bolts | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$50.00 | | Purchased At: | Ebay.com | | Strengths: | Fantastic lightweight stem, that looks the Mutt's Nuts. | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Nothing this close, but used Syncros Cattleprod, Azonic OCS, Salsa Pro Moto. | | Bike Setup: | Kona Hei Hei, Pace Carbon rigid forks, XTR/Raceface components, Hope hubs matched to Mavic Rims, and carbon seatpost/saddle and bars. | | Bottom Line: | What a difference a change makes. I haven't gone hardcore on the stem yet (only put it on my bike last night) but already I feel comfortable with it. Titec do a lighter Ti stem, but I'm well pleased with this benchmark item...looking forward to giving it a good thrashing this weekend!

$100.00 | | Purchased At: | online bike source | | Strengths: | Super light and strong. What a handsome stem! | | Weaknesses: | None yet | | Similar Products Used: | Azonic 5-120mm, Easton mg60 0-110mm | | Bike Setup: | 2000 xcr-1500,Mavic crossmax, all xtr, sid 100, sid xc, koobi, Lp carbon,easton monkey light,panaracer xc's! | | Bottom Line: | What a sharp looking stem! I was very saddened to replace my MG60, Easton's magnesium 0rise-110mm but they do not make a 135mm. I wanted to move my weight over cockpit forward by 1" to help keep my front end down while climbing, so I went to a 135mm stem and took off my ea50 seatpost with a 1" set back and put on an LP carbon straight.Mission accomplished and if you are considering this stem...DO IT!Five flaming everythings because sometimes you get exactly what you pay for! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
