Climbing artist: Stevens E-Cayolle+

On the climbs, the Stevens follows its course unwaveringly. The front wheel does not rise, the wide and well-profiled tyre generates grip en masse. If you want to survive difficult climbs, you won't find a more suitable partner in the test group. The Stevens doesn't get rattled easily on descents either. In addition to the length and the tyres, this is due to the slack steering angle. Experienced riders benefit from a lot of smoothness at high speeds, while cautious riders get comfort, grip and a lot of safety. However, if you're looking for a playful bike, you've come to the wrong place: the E-Cayolle is reluctant to climb onto the rear wheel, and even tight bends require physical effort. The large Bosch Intuvia display doesn't look very sporty and emphasises the comfortable nature of the E-Cayolle+.

Conclusion: Thanks to Plus tyres and long geometry, the E-Cayolle offers the greatest safety and the best climbing ability in the test, but agility suffers.
