The STEVENS E-bikes with the "Plus" suffix can weigh 180 kilograms including rider and luggage. Enough for even the strongest types and the most demanding tasks. The frames are designed to handle this load and have been thoroughly tested by the experts from the Zedler Institute for Bicycle Technology and Safety.
A 29" wheel at the front and a 27.5" wheel at the rear ensure even more trail fun and performance on the descent. While the larger front wheel provides more grip, better rollover behaviour and smoothness, the smaller rear wheel provides more space, more acceleration and, above all, more agility in tight corners. The so-called mullet bikes can fully utilise their advantages, especially downhill.
The ACT frames are equipped with a shorter top tube, a longer head tube and a steeper head tube angle. The geometry creates a shorter reach across all frame sizes as well as a more compact wheelbase for a more upright, relaxed yet active riding position, which is particularly favourable for comfort-oriented touring bikers.
Our engineers have spent countless hours tinkering with the frame of the Arcalis aero racer. The result is more than impressive and has proven itself in wind tunnel tests and on the road. The reduced front surface of the aerodynamic design significantly reduces air resistance and skilfully guides the airflow past the frame in a streamlined manner.
With a belt drive, a sturdy belt transmits the drive from the crank to the sprocket of the drive wheel. Although the non-separable design of the belt requires a STEVENS frame with a separable right seat stay as a special measure, the advantages are convincing: noticeable weight savings, silent running and significantly lower maintenance requirements.
If you travel by bike, you need storage space. That’s exactly why STEVENS gravel bikes are equipped with numerous threaded eyelets on the frame and fork. These serve as a basis for attaching pack options. A third bottle cage is also possible.
Anyone travelling on alpine trails with their E-MTB demands maximum control. Thanks to its 150° pivot angle and high-quality ball bearing, the Acros Block Lock headset with integrated cable routing ensures that the top tube is optimally protected from impacts in tight bends or in the event of a fall. The fact that this results in fewer crashes in the first place is a further benefit of the impact protection.
In conjunction with the Magura CT Allroad eSTOP ABS anti-lock brake, the Bosch eBike ABS ensures superior braking power, riding stability, safety and comfort when braking and therefore optimum deceleration on any surface and in any weather conditions. Fully integrated into Bosch’s "The smart system", it offers different ABS modes for cargo, touring, allroad and trail use, specially tailored to the intended use.
On the fast S-Pedelecs it is mandatory, here it is optional: when a brake lever is operated, the rear brake light lights up and warns the traffic behind. Be safe.
If you want to be fast, you don’t necessarily have to suffer more – at least not if the Scorpo Carbon SL Comfort seatpost on your STEVENS carbon racing bike filters out the most unpleasant bumps and vibrations from the road as standard. Its diameter is only 27.2 mm to allow for greater elasticity. And the fibre profile has been specially designed to achieve this without adding weight or sacrificing stability. By the way: The seatpost can also be retrofitted.
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.
Optimum seat height for drive efficiency. Press the button. Saddle down for technical descents. Button ... it could go on and on – and on some technical trails, the seatpost remote is used more often than the front derailleur shifter. Experts in riding fun and safety agree: rarely has an innovation brought such convincing advantages and so few disadvantages (weight, price) as seatposts with infinitely adjustable seat height.
Part of the new frame geometry are overall shorter seat tubes, which nevertheless allow the use of longer dropper posts. This gives customers the opportunity to ride different frame heights without any problems and thus better customise the riding position and characteristics of the bike to their own needs. Frame size stickers have been specially developed for this purpose. They provide information about the frame height (R1 to R5 or S to XL), the ideal size range for the rider and the stack and reach values of the frame.
Designed for use with the compact Bosch PowerPack batteries with a capacity of up to 800 Wh, the frames also impress with integrated cable routing and an integrated plastic parts concept. The battery cover, motor cover and chain guard merge into one another as if from a single mould. For a clean, uniform look and outstanding functionality.
This abbreviation stands for Shimano’s thru-axle standard for rear triangles, in which the threaded nut is integrated directly into the dropout. The 12 mm axle ensures outstanding rear triangle stiffness and absolutely precise positioning of the brake disc – this avoids annoying grinding noises.
With the balanced, finely tuned yet extremely sporty carbon frame of the STEVENS Xenith, the sloping top tube combined with the slimmer and longer seat post provides more flex and comfort on the saddle. Impacts are absorbed effortlessly – also thanks to the tyre width of up to 32 mm. The successful mix of comfort, ergonomics and riding efficiency is the result of our detailed development work.
With its proven "Continuously Variable Planetary" CVP technology, the continuously variable Enviolo hub offers superior shifting comfort. Rotating metal balls inside – instead of the usual gear wheels – allow an infinite number of gear ratios with a wide gear range, easy shifting and an enormous gear range of up to 380 per cent (Enviolo Trekking hub).
FEQ stands for Fully Equipped. This means that all STEVENS bikes with the FEQ suffix are fully equipped for touring duties. This includes mudguards, kickstand, bell and lighting system and, in the vast majority of cases, a pannier rack.
The STEVENS engineers have combined E-Fully features and touring specification for the perfect E-Crossover experience. Rock Shox suspension and Acros Block Lock headset meet FEQ pannier rack with bag holder for the Ortlieb Quicklock 3.1 system and lighting system, stand, mudguards and bell. E-crossover for adventurers.
It is simply intelligent lightweight construction when STEVENS engineers use 100% carbon fibres for the forks of road racers and cross bikes, from the dropouts right up to the steerer tube. The resulting riding experience on the road and off-road is impressive: lightweight plus steering precision, effortless climbing and razor-sharp cornering performance. Maximum torsional rigidity even for the most powerful disc brakes.
The sporty GTF geometry of the STEVENS E-Inception series is fully designed for downhill-orientated performance. A long reach and a slack steering angle give the E-Fully a smoother ride, which has a positive effect on the downhill controllability of the E-MTB. A shorter head tube and steeper seat angle provide more control on steep climbs. Incidentally, GTF stands for Gas To Flat and means full throttle with full control down the mountain.
A practical stand on the rear triangle of STEVENS E-Inception bikes is not a must, but a welcome extra. That’s why our engineers have installed an inconspicuous kickstand mount. The FEQ models come with a kickstand as standard. It can be retrofitted to all other E-Inception models without any problems and without sacrificing heel clearance on complex trails.
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.
The LightSKIN seat post is equipped with LEDs which, in conjunction with the rear light integrated in the rear mudguard, increase the visibility of the bike in busy urban traffic.
When the starting shot is fired, every metre counts. Getting into the first bend in a good position, on the first climb. A lighter frame design, more integration and the resulting improved aerodynamics ensure even faster acceleration and a decisive advantage over the competition.
On/off switch with integrated USB-C charging socket
On the E-Inception models with Shimano drive and the large Darfon battery, a USB-C charging socket on the top tube – ensures that the smartphone, action camera or lighting system are powered for as long as the trail adventure lasts. Riders can also switch the system on and off in a smart and user-friendly way on the top tube.
This bike can be made even more suitable for year-round use if full-size mudguards are also fitted to the frame and fork. Then a functional wardrobe based on the "onion principle" is all you need to enjoy lots of riding fun even in the typical adverse conditions of autumn and winter or to set off on a sporty commute to work on even more days of the year.
Where a bottom bracket shell would normally only house the bottom bracket, the complete shifting centre is located here and provides the rider with – depending on the version – 9, 12 or 18 absolutely evenly and closely spaced gears and an enormous range for every conceivable riding situation. The small power packs – made in Germany – also guarantee perfect handling with the resulting optimum weight distribution.
It is especially important for disc brakes that ultra-lightweight road bikes are prepared to accommodate them in order to make the most of their advantages. So the forks and rear triangles of your disc road bikes are spec’d with extra-safe 12 mm thru-axles.
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.
The electronic Rohloff E-14 sets standards for E-bike shifting. In combination with the smart eShift function of the Bosch drive unit, this results in a uniquely fast, error-free shifting performance: at the touch of a button, the drive unit takes the load off the system and the Speedhub hub shifts gears. If the button is held down, all 14 gears can be shifted through in a quick 3-gear sequence. And when you stop at a traffic light, the system automatically shifts back to a previously selected starting gear. But it’s not just the electronics that are impressive, the mechanics are too: there are Speedhub hubs with a service life of over 100,000 kilometres. And there are tens of thousands of everyday and long-distance cyclists who never want another gear again. Maintenance requirements? A small oil change per year. Nothing more.
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.
The weight reduction was achieved through the use of selected carbon fibres, a sophisticated layup and optimised use of resin. The refined production method results in frames that have the same stiffness and comfort values as the previous frames despite the lower weight.
Comfort to the power of two: The Oxygen E-Scorpo DPR-S-E can not only be lowered by up to 100 mm for more comfortable mounting and dismounting using the handlebar remote control – it also increases riding comfort with its built-in suspension.
Even the road pros at the Tour de France have now realised that wider tyres roll faster. And isn’t it these small side roads with their often dubious tarmac quality that are the most fun? In any case, anyone who frequently rides on routes with less slippery surfaces can prepare their racing bike for this with tyres up to 28 mm wide – and then benefit from greater riding comfort.

STEVENS engineers have fitted 40 mm wide tyres as standard, but have given the gravel bikes even more clearance. So if you prefer even wider tyres, you can retrofit up to 45 mm.
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.
If you frequently ride your E-bike on on less than optimal roads, you can fit tyres up to 50 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.
If you frequently ride your E-bike on less than optimal roads, you can fit tyres up to 55 mm wide. And then benefit from the maximum riding comfort and puncture protection that their extra large air volume brings, because you can now ride with even lower tyre pressure. The frames and forks of these bikes are already prepared for this.
