The CNC work on this stem results in a relativly light weight product that is strong in all the right places. One of it's best features is how it totally clamps to your bars without leaving the 'ol face plate gap. As the stem cradles the bar from underneath your entire weight is supported by the stem structure, not the faceplate. No gaps = no stress risers either. It just makes sense that all stems should have been made this way. It's a superior design. Definatly use a torque wrench to install and follow manufacturer's instructions and you'll never have a problem with it....just like me.

For that direct steering feel and confidence that know that you're not going to break it no matter how hard you land. Plus great looks. If you're running a single crown fork or dont have the option of an integrated stem, this will be your best bet
Its a great stem for FR/DH. Its really solid, no flex at all and look GREAT. the only downside to it is that the bolts are in alloy way to soft and are prone to strip. just buy other bolt at your ardware store and youll be good.
beautiful stem great improveent over the previous, very stiff and lightweight i know the last product i have to worry about on my bike is this stem, il be in pieces rather than this.
just be careful over tightening the rear pinch bolts as it can suffer from banana bolt syndrome

pros,strong and very stiff with the best clamping i have used on a stem and with black bolts so you don't get that horrid rusty look after a few wet ride's.

strong, stiffens up the front end loads compared to my previous stems ive had, great clamp design and one of the best investments i have made
I have had two of the race face d2 stems the clamp is strong they look great and are stiff with no flex. I think the price is a bit high but I think it is great A+
its well good innit. nah its a stem, it holds the bar to the bike. job done. it looks nice and doesnt have any sharp bits to hit my knees off
The upper clamp provides extra strength and stiffnes no problems so far and i've even drilled holes to minamize weight nice stem
Perfect quality. Very nice look, nice shapes.
Nothing to give, noting to lose. Simply perfect
Race Face is da best
