CarbonCycles eXotic Enduro Stem, 50mm or 65mm. Purpose built for Enduro Racing & All Mountain

This stem is an absoulute bargin and is just as good if not better than stems twice the price! I firstly noticed how light this stem was for an aluminum design which is a great plus point as I really like my components to be as light as possible. The 65mm version I recived was very sturdy and rigid and had no unwanted flex or stress even when faced with the toughest of terrain which I tested this stem on up at glentress doing both black and red routes with jumps and very rocky sections. It looks really nice aswell in the flat black colour and the bolts that are included with the stem are miles better than my old stem bolts as they do not rust or corrode and still look as good as new. The stem grips onto the handle bars and steerer tube really well with no slipping or movement even when I was landing harsh jumps. There seems to be no pressure points or stress areas which I am very pleased about and there is no real visible scratches or blemishes even after hard use and abuse. The stem points and steers very precise also and is manufactured to a very high quality. The eXotic stem was really built for Enduro use and suits my bike setup really nicely. I can see that a lot of time and effort went in, in order for carbon cycles to create both an affordable and purpose built stem that can take anything that's thrown at it with pure ease! I can highley recomend this stem after some serous testing and belive it to be one of the best Enduro stems at this price point, thanks to its simple, light and efficient design making it a great stem option for all Enduro riders out there looking for a 65mm or 50mm stem. You won't find better for the price!
