I picked up this stem to replace my current Wake stem which I think has too much writing on it. This Origin8 stem just has their logo on it in a nice silver color and 8 is my favorite number so I like it. Here are some pictures:

Bar clamp has a big window to show your handlebar logo if it has one

The Bad
Price is higher than some other similar stems, but far from the most expensive. These are about $35.
The OK
It’s not heavy, but not super light either. Most lighter ones are more expensive.
Rating
I’m going to give it a rating of 3.5 stars. I think it looks good, is reasonably light, and the price is ok. Get yours today on Amazon:
