That might be - the Uno is 7000 Series, dunno about the New Ultimate.

It's funny with stems. A light weight stem may seem too flexy using a lighter bar, but with a more beefed up bar, same stem can come out feeling it works great.
Same using a more beefed up stem with a lighter bar.
I have 13 stems and 4 handlebars and it seems it comes down to matching at some point.
Oh, just realized i have a new stem coming in a week

Madcow, A big thumbs up again on a well written review.
Someone mentioned the Uno as the same thing as the New Ultimate. No bash on the Uno since I use one and started the thread but I'm pretty sure one is 7000 series and the other 2000 series aluminum.
I was wrong. They are both are 7000 series aluminum.
Sorry I missed your question. I sent him a pre-2015. That new one looks nice though!
I love your reviews. Accurate unbiased figures from guys who love bikes, and no "advertising revenue" influencing your views.
Thanks for providing us with these tests, it gives a great point of reference for those of us looking for the right balance between weight and stiffness.

Just a question, why the Syntace F119 and not the F109?

The first round of test including Syntace F119 was done about one year before or even earlier.
I think at that moment F109 was not born.

Added: Extralite Hyperstem, Mcfk Carbon, Bontrager XXX, Ritchey Superlogic 260 Carbon, FSA SL-K, and the Control Tech Ti.
The Mcfk now tops the stiffness to weight category and the Control Tech Ti did surprisingly well.

Hi Fairwheel engineers
Thank you for your working and the results are very interesting.
I just have a question: How many stems for each model did you run the test?
I don't think the data from single stem could presuade many engineers
