“It could not have worked-out better on this very hard, very hot day”, the Danish-born Luxembourgian national summed-up the race after crossing the finish line. A distance of 79 kilometers (49 miles) and 2,300 meters (7546 feet) of elevation were scheduled for a field of riders that included the full world elite.

“One of the most capable bikes for short and long-distance rides“, is My Bike magazine’s conclusion after a thorough review of the STEVENS 8X Lite Tour. The top-of-the-line model is exemplary for sporty, every-day capable bikes from the City Cross line, that was developed by STEVENS from the minimalistic X-cross line for city, gravel and forest roads. The 8X Lite Tour is also an example of what kind of ride experience modern bicycle technology, when usefully combines with top-shelf components, can create.

 “This remarkably well-balanced Stevens bike is everybody’s darling”, are the introductory words of the My Bike test report about the STEVENS Avantgarde in magazine’s 3.2019 edition, and the report continues: “Seating position, ergonomics, ride characteristics – everything just fits together from the very beginning. Its cultivated handling and ride quality really stand out.”

Bike typology: The new STEVENS Supreme is a class of bicycle developing within the continuing gravel trend. It is still developing since there is not an efficient number yet to call it its own category – but this maybe still to come, according to My Bike issue 3.2019 that introduces different modern drop-bar sports bikes.
