Be careful installing it. The 3nm limit on tension was not enough to hold my bars in place.
With 3T bars and carbon paste, mine have never slipped. I can't say the same for my Enve stem.
I had the Zipp bars with that stem on my wilier and it stayed in place no problem at 3nm just make sure it has paste.

I have a Hyperstem holding on to a Zipp Vuka Sprint and it has not slipped at 3Nm either. Just be sure to tighten the clamp bolts up evenly in a cross pattern like how you would install lug nuts on a car wheel.

Keep an eye on your steerer tube when you use this stem!
If you see bite marks after some use, be aware this can make the steerer tube crack.

With carbon paste?

I have Kestrel Pro SL (or whatever they called them, about 185 g) bars on two bikes . The first time I installed one of them, it cracked with an alloy FSA OS-99 stem at about 4 Nm even torque on the bolts. After getting a replacement, I now stop at 2 Nm on both bikes. Carbon paste keeps them how I want them. No issues.
