Strengths:    Softens the road buzz, but remains stiff and responsive. Looks are very cool

Weaknesses:    A bit spendy but worth it

Bottom Line:   
At first, I thought I was buying a big Bling factor for the bike. Naked carbon stem to attach to my naked carbon handlebars. But....after riding awhile with it, I noticed it softened the ride nicely without becoming sloppy. My cockpit is still quick and responsive and I've been very happy with the stem. And it looks SWEET.

Strengths:    Lightweight.my 10cm stem comes with a 110 grams weight.
Beautiful,quite classy like the stem on the old steel bikes.
Can use for carbon handlebar.it's a big advantage,but I never use carbon handlebar with it.Aluminum is solid and reliable.


Weaknesses:    a bit flexy for my weight.( I weigh around 58 kilograms.)
and somewhat pricy...


Bottom Line:   
Compared to Deda Newton/Zero100,It is a bit flexy for me.First,I build my bike with this Stem and Deda Supernatural handlebar,but I find that the bar is too stiff tomake the stem hard to handle it.Then after hundreds of miles, I replace my bar with Pedalsoft Elf,the condition didn't changed.So I replace this Stem.

Strengths:    Light weight
Good finish
Good selection of sizes
Ti bolts


Weaknesses:    None

Bottom Line:   
I have been using the stem for around three months now and have had no problems and consider it to be a great product. The stem is very light and clamps both the stearer tube and handlebars firmly without having to be over-tightened. The gloss finish of the stem is also very good and hard wearing. I recomend this stem %100
