S-Lite aluminium fork

S-Lite aluminium fork

This is what a modern rigid fork looks like today: The straight fork blades and the fork crown are moulded from a single piece – this saves welding seams and guarantees maximum rigidity and steering precision. Full mudguards and a lowrider luggage rack can be fitted, as can an elegant holder for the front headlight. The version with QR15 thru-axle can be made particularly theft-proof with an optional Pitlock system. And yet the STEVENS S-Lite aluminium fork fully lives up to its name on the scales.

QR15 thru axle

QR15 thru axle

The "15" stands for the axle diameter, the "QR" for "Quick Release" – and together for the most functional method of anchoring the front wheel in the (suspension) fork. The advantages are impressive: high rigidity, precise brake disc positioning and foolproof operation. STEVENS therefore equips all mountain bikes and E-MTBs as well as the highest quality trekking bikes, cross bikes and E-bikes with them. For (E-)MTBs in particular, the installation width has even been increased – from 100 to 110 mm, which is even stiffer.

Tyre clearance up to 47 mm (City/Trekking/Tour & E-Bike)

Tyre clearance up to 47 mm (City/Trekking/Tour & E-Bike)

If you ride more frequently on less than optimal surfaces, you can fit tyres up to 47 mm wide – and then benefit from greater riding comfort and puncture protection thanks to their larger air volume, as you can now ride with lower tyre pressure. The frames and forks of these bikes are already prepared for this.

Dropouts with integrated pannier rack eyelets

Dropouts with integrated pannier rack eyelets

In collaboration with pannier rack specialists Tubus/Racktime STEVENS’ engineers have developed a dropout that also serves as an elegant pannier rack mount. It not only looks fantastic, it also ensures that forces caused by luggage or large amounts of groceries are evenly transmitted inot the frame – resulting in a more stable and safer design.

Integrated pannier rack strut

Even if you can’t see the support of the pannier rack to the seat stays – it’s there. A strut runs under the mudguard and – in conjunction with the mudguard attached to the pannier rack – provides even more stability and lateral stiffness.
