The older model had a slit and internal M6 binder. It worked great and no problem using it on a carbon steerer. The updated model uses a two piece wedge much like a Thomson Elite or even earlier Deda/Tioga/Kalloy models. That one is much more prone to slipping and wreaks havoc on carbon steerers.
Quite sad they changed the design. Not too many modern hidden/internal clamp stems on the market. All of this as I simply dislike binders and stem bolts that are on the rear of the stem. Bring back quill stems. And external housing. And square taper cranks.

Sick. And that just works great? Never had anything wedge-style that worked!
