EXCLUSIVE RIDING FUN

The STEVENS engineers are particularly proud of the carbon frames of the completely new E-Inception top models. They not only impress with their high stiffness values (i.e.: impeccable steering precision and efficiency even under the heaviest loads), but also with their low weight thanks to high-modulus "Carbon SL HMF" fibres in a design that is optimally suited to the loads. Further top details are the Acros headset with steering stop, the stable UDH derailleur hangers, integrated mounting points for kickstands, an innovative routing of brake lines and shift cables through the frame and. The abbreviation "GTF" on the models with carbon frames stands for the motto "gas to flat", which originates from the MTB racing scene, i.e. "full throttle is trumps". This is why these frames have a longer, slacker geometry - in contrast to the aluminium versions, which are designed for greater comfort.

DURABLE POWER

The ingenious rear end kinematics and fine suspension elements from Fox or RockShox together guarantee the best trail performance. This almost necessarily demands a battery with maximum power - and the STEVENS engineers have found a real gem in the 726 Wh energy reservoir from Darfon, and approved it: Safe and well hidden in the down tube, it is perfectly prepared for new records in long distance riding and elevation gains.

SAFE SUPPLY

In the E-Inception models with Shimano drive and the large Darfon battery, a USB C charging socket on the top tube - exclusive to STEVENS - ensures that the smartphone or action camera is supplied with energy for as long as your riding pleasure adventures last. This ensures that navigation through Komoot & Co. does not break down prematurely and that the most beautiful trail moments can be relived afterwards.

BEST CHOICE

Probably the most powerful drive for sporty E-MTBs comes from Shimano in model year 2021: the EP8 been upgraded to a whopping 85 Newton metres compared to its predecessor Steps E8000. Much more decisive on the trail, however, is its maximum compact design and minimum weight of just 2.5 kg. To ensure that the right gear ratio is available in every riding situation, STEVENS relies on 12-speed drives throughout, also from Shimano.

WIDE SOLES

The new E-Fullies for aggressive off-road use (read: FR, ED or AM) are all fitted with 2.6-inch knobby tyres on wide, robust rims - each in 29" format at the front for stable steering and best rollover behaviour, while a 27.5" rear wheel guarantees manoeuvrability and robustness on the trail.

100% TOURING CAPABLE

As an alternative to the sporty and agile E-MTBs, the STEVENS developers have also created a new category of 29" studded tyres: "E-Crossover", consisting of two completely new E-Inception TR fullies and two E-Universe hardtails, each with the suffix "FEQ" to indicate their comprehensive touring or everyday suitability: "fully equipped" in terms of road legislation and suitability for everyday use. This category is rounded off by the two proven touring hardtails E-Antelao and E-Hazard. In addition to the powerful drives from Bosch, a whole range of top features are waiting to be used by you in daily use and taken to their limits.

INNOVATIVE LUGGAGE SOLUTION

Exclusively for the two E-Inception TR fullys, we have created a rear rack which can hold either panniers with the super-practical Quick-Lock 3.1 holding system or conventional hooked-in bags. Its stable attachment to the seat stay bridge and fender ensures that the influence of the luggage on the bike's handling is minimal, even if you take the model name "TR" (like "Trail") seriously.

A LOOK AT THE ESSENTIALS

Anyone who does not want to be disturbed by the onset of darkness on their long journeys or on commuter journeys needs high-quality lighting. Thanks to our partners Supernova, Litemove and Busch+Müller, the new STEVENS E-Crossover bikes ride (and shine) right up front.

STABLE PARKING

At some point even the longest tour comes to an end - or it is interrupted by breaks because the camera needs to be pulled out or a strengthening meal needs to be taken. Then such a practical kickstand on the rear end is not a must, but a welcome extra. That's why it comes as standard on the FEQ models from STEVENS.

COMFORT IS KEY

With the E-Inception TR fullys the comfort plus is in the rear. On the two E-Universe models, on the other hand, the frame with its low stepthrough makes for easy handling, especially when getting on and off the bike. The E-Universe 9.6 Plus also shines with a permissible total weight of 180kg - enough for the strongest riders and their large touring luggage.
