Stevens 4X Lite Tour Gent Slate Grey

The “4X Lite Tour Gent Slate Grey” model from Stevens, released in 2021, offers a well-thought-out combination of robust technology and functional design at a price of 849 EUR. The frame is made from 6061 DB aluminium, giving the bike a robust yet lightweight structure. Weighing 13 kg and with a maximum load capacity of 130 kg, it is suitable for both everyday use and longer tours.

The bike is fitted with high-quality components. The brakes are Shimano BR-T4000, operated by Shimano BL-T4010 brake levers, which ensure reliable and precise braking. The derailleur is a Shimano Alivio Shadow RD-M3100-SGS with 27 speeds, operated via Shimano Alivio SL-M3100 shift levers. The front derailleur is a Shimano Acera Trekking FD-T3000-TSL3, which ensures smooth gear changes.

The bike’s fork is a STEVENS S-Lite aluminium fork, which provides additional stability and comfort. Lighting is provided by the B+M Lumotec Dopp T Senso+ front light with 30 lux and the AXA Juno rear light, both powered by a Shimano DH-C3000-3N-QR dynamo. The pedals are ATB Aluminium Comp Reflex, which ensure a secure grip and efficient pedalling.

The bike’s drivetrain consists of a BSA 73 mm bottom bracket and a Shimano FC-T4010-8 crankset with 48-36-26-tooth chainrings. The cassette is a Shimano CS-HG400 with 9-speed gearing. The handlebars and stem are both by Oxygen Driver, with a handlebar width of 640 mm for optimum control and ergonomics.

The rims are Oxygen RM-X19, 19 x 622, fitted with Schwalbe G-One Allround Performance tyres in size 35-622, which ensure good traction and riding comfort. The hubs are Shimano DH-C3000-3N-QR and FH-T3000, which ensure a smooth ride.

Comfort is ensured by the Oxygen Raceline saddle and the Oxygen Driver seatpost. The bike is also fitted with SKS mudguards to protect against splashes, and a chain guard. Practical features such as the Pletscher Comp kickstand and the Racktime Eco 2.0 luggage rack round off the specification, making the Stevens 4X Lite Tour Gent Slate Grey a versatile companion for a wide range of uses.
