Very strong, no flex
No flex is exactly not what I want on short travel bikes.
Bars that say they design to flex more to reduce trail vibration is a lot more interesting.

doesn't have to be that one, it's just an example of bars that design to flex.
Enve m5 and some Ergon also have flex profile engineered into the bar design.
No flex is easy. Engineer to flex properly takes effort. I won't pay more than a bare minimum for a bar that has no flex.

i've been using a wren sports stem on 2 bikes for 5years now with no issues.
Wren sports is just a re-labeled Kalloy unit, not the Uno though. I have a 50mm version of the Wren stem unlabeled I bought off ebay for $25.00

What kalloy are they rebranding? Kalloys are normally m5, but it uses m4 bolts
