Loaded Precision X-lite Titanium Stem
The Good

Lightest weight stem on the market!

The Bad

Nothing significant to report

Overall Review
I got a new bike and went to my LBS for a CK stem. They didn't have the CK in stock, but they had this Loaded one in. Due to it being lighter than all other stems I bought it. WOW! I'm super impressed and became a Loaded fan girl ever since.

Loaded Precision X-40 Hookless Carbon V.3.1 Wheel
The Good

Strong, stiff, allows minimal burping compared to other wheels, hub sounds legit!, lightweight, and look flipping awesome!

The Bad

Not as advertised weight, but lighter than most

Overall Review
I got these because I couldn't afford ENVE or Reynolds. Wow! I was blown away day one and now a year later I'm still stoked on them.

Loaded Precision X-40 Hookless Carbon V.3.1 Wheel
Vital Review
Overall Review
Review by John Keep // Photos by Fred Robinson Loaded Precision is a Southern California-based components brand that was started in 2006. Offering a wide variety of products ranging from handlebars, stems, pedals and wheels, Loaded has hopped into the market of ultra-wide, carbon wheels. With a whopping 40-mm external width (35-mm internal), the new X-40 wheelset is offered in a variety of colors, much like the rest of their line. Having first spotted these wheels at Eurobike last year, we were eager to give them a spin. Available in both 27.5" and 29", we've spent the better part of the past...

Loaded Precision AMX Signature CroMo Flat Pedal
The Good

Through pin design, Thin, Good grip

The Bad

None really to be reported

Overall Review
I have had the pedals for a majority of ten months and they have been working very good for me. They spin well even with riding in the rain/much and I have done no maintenance to them what so ever. The pins screw in through the backside which help make them not back out over time, and the spindles are straight despite may rock strike encounters. They do not offer the best grip of any pedal I have ever rode, but they do well holding onto my FiveTen shoes. I recommend these as good pedal that are not as pricey as some of the other competition out there.

Loaded Precision X-Lite Quick Release Post Clamp
The Good

Super lightweight, over 50% lighter than my stock QR clamp. Advertised weight was spot on (24g) via my digital postage scale. Beautiful machining, no razor sharp edges. Smooth radius cuts and curvy contours. Titanium bolt doesn't corrode and knurled thumb nut offers easy adjustment even with sweaty...

The Bad

A bit pricey, but inline with other QR clamps made from the same materials and comparable weight. The lever looks fragile and kinda feels that way when clamping down. Although, I havent noticed any flexing or been fearful of breaking it, even when clamping down tighter than i probably should.

Overall Review
First I must admit to being a bit of a bling whore. I typically choose to keep it somewhat less flashy though, so I chose to order the clear anodized (silver) clamp. I ordered directly from the manufacturer and despite being on the opposite coast of the country, I received the clamp in 3 business days. Packaging was small and simple, requiring only a pair of scissors to cut a single cable tie to free the clamp from its retail card. Holding the clamp in hand was a pleasure. It is unbelievably lightweight and has a feel comparable to a fine wristwatch. After removing the factory QR clamp and...

Loaded Precision AmXC
The Good

Strong, extra coarseness for stem and grips, nice width, durable

The Bad

Some may or may not like the graphics

Overall Review
First of all this is a review for Loaded's Carbon version of the AmXc bars. When I first received these bars I was impressed with the packaging. Loaded takes a bit of time to package their products so they are protected stylishly. These are my second set of carbon bars and the are competitively light at 219 Grams on my food scale. I had got these bars because for the local trails, my previous bars felt too wide at 780mm. I was constantly hitting the bar ends on the singletrack. My local trails have lots of narrow passages between trees. The 760mm width instantly felt at home while on the trail...

Loaded Precision AmXC Shorty Stem
The Good

Sexy appeal, robust, light weight, torque specs listed on stem, easy to install

The Bad

There are none really

Overall Review
Loaded Precision is not as recognizable as other companies out there, but I do believe they make some great products and they are competitively priced as well. I have had this stem for about five or six months and I have enjoyed the short 45mm length of it paired with Loaded's carbon 760mm wide bars on my trail bike. First off, Loaded makes some sexy looking parts, they are beautifully machined and have multiple different colors to choose from to match any color scheme you ave going on. Not only are they great looking, but they seem to hold up real well. I have had no complaints with this stem...

Loaded Precision X-lite Titanium Stem
The Good

I was shocked at how lightweight this stem is. It actually was decently priced as well. I just recently bought this stem and I'm liking it so far. It study, as I'm running it with their carbon AmXC bars on my trail bike.

The Bad

Nothing. It's a great stem

Overall Review
This stem is shockingly light. Yet I still find it to be just as strong. I couldn't decide whether I wanted all carbon components so I went with their Titanium stem instead. I'm happy with it. It's the perfect length for me. I got mine in the 110mm.

Loaded Precision X-Lite Ultra Carbon Rim
The Good

Incredibly lightweight, well built, affordable compared to other brands but you get what you pay for

The Bad

I haven't had any problems so far. I'm happy with them.

Overall Review
These wheels are perfect for me. I'm an avid XC racer and wanted to run these on my 29er. I actually ended up buying their complete wheelset than just the rims since I needed the spokes in blue. The wheelset looks great on my bike. They've held up real well to. I did my research and these were pretty affordable for me. I know carbon can get pricey, but in the long run it's well worth it to have a legit lightweight bike for me.

Loaded Precision AmX Flat Handlebar
The Good

colors, affordable, strong, really wide!

The Bad

Nothing, definitely a great bar

Overall Review
These are some great bars! They've held up for a while. I just bought my second pair since I just bought a blue frame and wanted to match. I really love the Loaded product that I'm running on my downhill bike. I like the color options that they have and the logo looks pretty sweet. I actually put these on my slopstyle bike as well since I prefer the flat bars over their riser bars. Just my preference. But overall I think it's a good bar

Loaded Precision AmXC Stem
The Good

strong, colorful, affordable, durable, overall perfect stem!

The Bad

I want purple!!!

Overall Review
Overall I found this stem to be great on my XC bike. I've paired it up with a blue AmXC bar and the set is great together! They're lite weight and inexpensive. I've been running them for a while now, probably about a year and a half and both have held up nicely. It's definitely a strong stem and the handle bars are as well. I would recommend this product if you're looking for an affordable, lite weight but durable stem.

Loaded Precision X-Lite Carbon 29" Rim
The Good

Strong and sturdy, perfect for xc racing, tubeless ready, affordable, Lite,

The Bad

Nothing that I could find

Overall Review
I have been searching for a light weight rim for a while. These rims were better than some of the other brands I was considering. The carbon is strong, I feel super confident on them. I got these for my race bike but will probably get some for my all around every day training bike as well. For a while, I was debating on going tubeless. Now that I have them and am using their orange tubeless system, I think it's been one of the greatest transitions! My race bike is super light. I want to get more carbon components as soon as I have more funding. Just don't want to break the bank. But I love...

Loaded Precision X-Lite Stainless Spokes
The Good

these spokes add some bling to any wheelset. They're strong and the anodizing is thick so they have lasted me a while.

The Bad

Nothing. I really enjoy the color options.

Overall Review
I ordered these spokes in white, with gold nipples on blue rims. The wheelset looks sweet! They're inexpensive, color lasts a long time so far. I'm happy with them.

Loaded Precision X-Lite v.2 Front Front Hub
The Good

Affordable, holds up well, colors to select from. I had my old hub and had to purchase new ones after it broke so I went with Loaded's hub. So far I've lived it. No issues whatsoever.

The Bad

No complaints

Overall Review
I run these on both my XC and my dh rig and they're worked well. Hold up nicely. Can't really complain. I had loaded build up my wheels for me and they run great. I also have the Amx rims with their white spokes and the set up looks nice together. These hubs were affordable for my price range. I was going to go with profile racing hubs but the noise began to irritate me when I went riding with my riding group. These are much quieter.

The Bad

Not anything

Overall Review
I have these on my Trek Fuel and really enjoy them. Had to cut them down a bit since I have narrow shoulders, but they fit me good. I like the slight rise to them, the are super comfortable. Loaded offers them in several colors which is great. They are strong and only $80. I got mine through Jensons and they shipped it out fast

Loaded Precision Napalm Carbon Stem
The Good

Legit! This is such a light weight stem its ridiculous! It's strong at I think about 90 grams. I like the length of it. Mine is 110mm but they offer 90, 100, and 120 as well. Also loaded backs it up with lifetime warranty

The Bad

I love carbon so nothing bothers me!!!

Overall Review
If your goal is to lighten up your bike, this is the stem to go with! It's been on my race bike along with their other carbon products. For carbon, I think it's priced fairly as well. With a lifetime warranty, nothing to fear. This stem is worth every penny!

Loaded Precision AmX Direct Mount Stem

Has a sweet design, they're strong, easy to install, light weight, sturdy. Love the color options as well.

The Bad

Can't complain

Overall Review
If you're looking to get a direct mount, this is by far one of the best ones out there. Compared to other brands, I've found that they're reasonably priced for the quality you get. I've been running mine for a while now and it's held up strong. The little design is pretty cool as well.

Loaded Precision AmX Flat Handlebar
The Good

It's perfect for Dh or trail since I like running my bars wide. It's strong and I really appreciate the flat bar since I can get lower to my bike. Loaded has a lot of colors which is cool if your into colorful bikes. It's affordable which really helps the bank

The Bad

No complaints

Overall Review
I run these bars on my DH rig and dirt jumper as well. I really like having flat bars so they've worked for me. They seem to be a lot stronger than other bars since I've ran a couple of other brands but switched over to loaded's since I needed some gold ones. Really love them so far.
