Some time along the road, Xootr started offering a XXL Swift. If no one noticed, the XXL size comes with a longer stem post. Since my existing stem post was visually deformed, and was starting to make noises under heavy load no matter how hard I torqued down the QR, I decided the buy the extra long one as a replacement.

To my surprise, not only was the new stem post longer, it was also extra beefy. Hopefully this means that the new stem post won't need replacing any time soon. There is a small cost though. The beefier stem is about 200g heavier.

Are the new standard sized stem post beefed up like the one pictured as well?
