Which one? I think the Syntace is clean looking and simple.
Light(est) 35mm clamp, 50mm length stem?

I get that, but beauty is certainly in the eye of the beerholder...I like the subtle matte black and nondescript printing over sharp angles and shitty anodizing. Is argue that my Thomson is no prettier...

if you can make 45mm work.... I picked one up from we are one with their bars (was getting gnarly hand numbness and fatigue)- totally fixed that and the stem is crazy light and stiff.
they make them in 35mm too?One Piece Stem 35 | Red | 45 mm | 1000334

Yep!
that was a rhetorical question...
Hey if you like neon and garish stuff check out spank stems
While I do love me some garish bike trash, those spank stems are made out of mystery metal and my cockpit is one place that I don't really mess around- bars and stem are 7 series alloy. I'd consider going carbon bars, but then I'd have to switch to 35mm and it's not worth it.
those stems look gorgeous, but you pay for em.
Yeah but it is awesome, no gap at the top of the clamp, stiff as a board and it doesn't back itself off like my Race Face Atlas would, and my D2 for that matter.
wasn't this thread supposed to be about direct mount stems?
Are you new here?

now it's about pretty much the same thing, but in outdated style

Thermally expanded pressfit stem with 19 PPM zirconium 97 content
Appreciate you guys keeping this valuable thread on topic, I am taking on board all suggestions and will make my final decision in 2022.
No, that was this one from four years ago.
Doesn't even come close to Udi's weight requirement, but it's new to me and from the man that brought you the Boner, so might as well:

The new Enve on the other hand is light but does not have the closed steerer interface:

nearly double the weight of a 77designz stem while costing more.
just shows the difference between made in germany and made in the usa

Well, the stem posted above is more than three times the weight and very much made in Germany.
Well, this one is 40mm, but supposedly 50mm is on the way.

Bang for the buck? Certainly not, that is what a Kalloy Uno stem is for (126 grams for $30).
Bling for the buck, though? Off the charts.

Only if you install it with the price tag still hanging off it.
*almost* as good as a 24 karat diamond embedded in your forehead...but close

The finish quality though, oof.
Ignoring the weight, cost etc etc, at least this thing has smooth corners on it. My knees like it.The new Enve on the other hand is light but does not have the closed steerer interface:

Necro bump
Is anyone on the aluminum Enve stem?
I’m looking for interesting stem options in 35 clamp, 32-35mm length.

bump again. Chromag has a new stem out.
I like Chromag, but damn now they have two stems at the same price point, made out of the same material.
Unless I'm blind, no where on their website do they compare the two or say one should be used for X type of riding while the other should be used for Y type?
The one difference is the miniscule length differences and the fact that the Riza comes in both bar diameters.
:edit: looking at the weights, this one must be stronger? The BZA at 50mm length and 35mm clamp is 184g. Whereas the Riza is 194g for the 31.8mm clamp and 38mm length version. Then again, just because its heavier doesn't necessarily mean its stronger?
While not exactly 50mm, I've got one of the BikeYoke 45mm ones for sale on PB. They can be light AF (the one I'm selling doesn't have the Ti bolts option, spec says 96g like this). https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/3439673/
Anyone has a good source for Ti bolts for stems? Mine get always rusty way too quickly.

this is now the default stem thread... that has nothing to do with the thread title...
Sys stem? Ick!
Wish more companies did intermediate sizes like 45mm. There's a few around now but only a couple of really nicely made ones in strange sizes.
