There's not much to say about the Stevens Glide. It has an honest, complete Shimano XT spec, lightweight wheels, good usable suspension travel and level control on the Fox Talas fork. The balanced riding position allows you to climb quickly (even more sportily in the lowered mode) and keep control even on the fast, rocky downhill test lap. The rear suspension is plush, even if it is not very sensitive. There are no drive influences such as bobbing, the suspension is in the midfield in terms of weight and is sufficiently stiff. Caution: Fat calves graze the rocker.
CONCLUSIONS: The Stevens Glide can do everything, has everything and is labelled a good all-rounder. A textbook all-mountain bike.
TUNING TIP: No tuning necessary.
