CNC Machined refers to a manufacturing process where computer-controlled machines create precise parts. This technology ensures that each component is made with high accuracy and quality, which is crucial for performance and safety in cycling. Choosing CNC Machined parts means you're investing in durability and reliability for your bike.

Carbon Fiber Integration combines lightweight carbon fiber with aluminum, resulting in components that are both strong and lightweight. This integration improves the overall stiffness and strength of the part, allowing for better handling and performance while reducing the overall weight of your bike, which is essential for competitive cycling.

Titanium Hardware is known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Using titanium bolts and fasteners means you get a robust connection without adding unnecessary weight to your bike. This is particularly beneficial for high-performance cycling, where every ounce counts, and reliability is paramount.

A 4-bolt faceplate provides a secure and stable connection between the handlebars and the stem. This design distributes the load evenly and minimizes the risk of the handlebars slipping or coming loose during rides. For cyclists, this means improved control and safety, especially during intense rides or rough terrain.

The claimed weight is the manufacturer's stated weight for a product, in this case, 5.04 ounces (143 grams) for the 100mm version. For cyclists, minimizing weight is crucial for enhancing performance, speed, and efficiency. Knowing the claimed weight helps you make informed decisions about which components will best suit your cycling needs.

Advanced materials like carbon fiber and titanium, along with CNC machining, often lead to higher production costs due to their manufacturing processes and material properties. However, investing in these high-quality components can result in better performance, durability, and longevity, ultimately providing better value for serious cyclists looking to enhance their riding experience.
