This looks better: Enve Aero Road Stem

[Nooch]

Just got a marketing email -- looks far less chunky than the traditional enve stem

oh yes - that is much better. these will sell like wildfire.

i hated the old enve stems for their chunkiness.

Reminds me of the baby alien that bursts out of the human stomach.

Ha thats very true.

Its has a weird bend like its about to unfold. Hence i dont like it much but yeah its better than the old enve stems.

Payment options for a stem...........good friggin grief........

maybe just me but that is another nope from me. ENVE can't make a decent stem

Looks like the old ITM Moray stem with the shim adjustable angle. That price hurts.

Same here.

And I realize aero is often at odds with weight savings, but 170g for a 100mm? That's not porky, no. But, my old 90mm Ritchey WCS aluminum stem with steel bolts weighs less than 100g.

Hot take, I like the old one better.

Hell, even a $20 Kalloy stem only weighs 107g for a 100mm.

But the Enve stem is laterally stiff and vertically compliant.

One fixed angle that's adjusted via shim? meh.

[livingminimal]

Is this necessary save for the purest form of vanity?
I know, Im asking that here of all places.
Anyway, carbon stems never made much sense to me.
this one looks like ****.

A $300 not-so-light stem seems like the perfect thing for someone who spent $9000 on a not-so-light Ottrott frameset.

Sometimes Paceline can be a bit schizophrenic in its loves and condemnations.

enve is smart... a lot of people running their forks (which are excellent) so then they get caught on the, I want the matching seatpost, the phallic handlebars and now they can match with the limp dick stem.
