STEVENS Super Trofeo is a triathlon bike that “has a lot of things to offer ambitious athletes dream of”, writes triathlon magazine. It was made to go fast “and it does go fast with the same zest as bikes that cost twice as much.”
The frameset is equipped with a fully integrated fork and a strong TRP brake mounted at its backside. The bike is mainly specced with a complete Shimano Ultegra groupset “that is unimpeachable. This is high-quality work without cutbacks even on unobtrusive parts like sprockets.”
There were also no low-cost parts to be found on the cockpit with its rising stem, Profile Design bars and T3+ extensions (completely made of carbon). If any, there was some tuning potential as far as Citec’s high profile rims were concerned, “but if you take a look at other models of the same price category you will find the in-house aero wheelset of this bike to be a solid base, especially as it is equipped with high-quality Continental tires.”
For highspeed circuits
Thanks to the seat post’s wide adjustment range a seat angle of 74 to 78 degrees was adjustable – according to personal preferences and aspired seating position. The transverse rigidity of the frame was also sufficient for heavy riders, steering behavior was absolutely predictable. Super Trofeo clearly prefers highspeed circuits that call for a steady, powerful pedal rotation to passages ridden out of the saddle.
Conclusion:
STEVENS’ Super Trofeo is a solid companion with excellent price-performance ratio and builds on quality within the framework of possibilities. The Ultegra groupset clearly is an argument in favor of this bike. Furthermore you’ll get a sound set of high profile aluminum wheels, sensibly rounding off the overall package. A great triathlon bike that keeps up with its rider’s growing ambitions for a long time.
