Why We Like The Turbine-R 35 Stem
It's been said in the world of mountain bike components pick two of the following characteristics: lightweight, strong, and cheap. Though we're sure there's a few components that buck this characterization, they're about as common as Sasquatch sightings along the trail. Hitting both the lightweight and high-strength aspects of this famous trope, the Race Face Turbine-R 35 Stem features CNC-machined 7075 aluminum for the best in all-mountain strength without the serious weight penalty. Its high-volume design improves upon the ever-popular Turbine Stem sourced on many trail and XC bikes, with the 35-millimeter clamp working harmoniously with the beefier 35-millimeter diameter bars preferred by all-mountain and enduro riders.

Very nice machining and quality

This is my favorite stem. The machining is on par to Chromag and Thomson stems but the design and style is what makes it better. Cant go wrong with this one.

Excellent stem - I own 3

The stem functions perfectly and if you buy one, expect it to do the job it's intended to without any issues! I currently own three of them and would consider buying another one if needed. However, I do have one small complaint. For the price, the stem should come with stainless or Ti hardware like other stems in this price-point do. After a few seasons, every one of these stems I've owned has started to show some corrosion or rust at the bolts which could be avoided with nicer hardware. That said, a few dollars later, and I've swapped all the hardware to stainless to avoid the issue going forward.
