The little black one

Hidden behind its matt black elegance are numerous qualities that impress from the very first pedal stroke. The combination of a lightweight aluminium frame, the exclusive STEVENS S-Lite aluminium fork and the innovative 12-speed gearbox with magnesium housing results in a low overall weight despite being fully equipped – for lively agility. The Gates CDX toothed belt does its job with particularly low maintenance over many thousands of kilometres. And the balanced riding position is just as suitable for a leisurely stroll through the city park as it is for a brisk Sunday ride through the countryside.

  • Modern trekking bike with high-value full specs up to bikepacking threaded eyelets
  • Finely tuned 12-speed Pinion gearbox with 600% gear range
  • Innovative, low-maintenance Gates belt drive
  • Reliable Shimano hydraulic disc brakes
  • Fast and foldable 47 mm Continental Contact Urban tyres

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.

Pinion gearbox

Pinion gearbox

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.

Belt drive

Belt drive

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.

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.
