All-mountain for comfort lovers

At first glance, the E-Inception AM 7.7.2 ACT hardly differs from its carbon brother AM 8.7.2 – and with the powerful Shimano EP8/EP801 drive unit, it promises the same level of riding pleasure. Its aluminium frame with active ACT geometry delights fans of riding comfort with a pleasantly balanced riding position. Because the battery also has 720 Wh of energy, nothing stands in the way of long and longest tours. And if you find yourself out and about after sunset, you are sure to quickly appreciate the standard headlight.

ACT/Active geometry

ACT/Active geometry

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.

29/27.5" wheels

29/27.5

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.

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.

On/off switch with integrated USB-C charging socket

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.

Block Lock headset with impact protection

Block Lock headset with impact protection

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.

Dropper post

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.

Integrated kickstand mount

Integrated kickstand mount

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.
