>"The new D2 stem is a very welcome product for anyone looking to further lower their handlebars. While riding the D2 we were very impressed by the solid feel and the sweet new styling that it offered. The D2 seems to do exactly what Race Face designed it to do."

> "Race Face is continually updating, modifying, and redesigning their products in order to meet the increasing requirements of strength and performance brought on by the evolving sport of mountain biking. The D2 stem is no different. For 2008 Race Face has continued to hone the D2 stem, making it better than before.."

> The original Diabolus stem is something of a strength legend and the new D2 looks set to inherit the legacy. An interlocking back-sloped top plate extends down into the lower U for a totally closed low-stress bar connection and solid steering. The low stack height (35mm) back end gets big squared ridges and twin opposing bolts for total lock down, but it's much lighter than the original. It comes in various lengths, including OnePointFive versions. MBUK Verdict: new lighter face of a super-strength legend. Impressive so far Performance: 9/10 MBUK 'MOST WANTED' AWARD
