There's nothing unique about this stem apart from the price. It's nicely made for the money, with slightly chamfered edges, a four-bolt faceplate and opposing bolts on the steerer clamp. The latter stick out a fair bit and if you don't do them up properly they can bind. It doesn't come in stupidly long lengths and, like the Syncros stem we tested a few issues ago, you pay more for white.
It's not something we'd fit to a high-end rig but a good upgrade for a cheaper off-the-peg bike
MBR RATING: 7/10
