Stevens 6X Gent

The “6X Gent” model from Stevens, released in 2020, is a versatile and robust bicycle that stands out for its high-quality components and solid build quality. The frame is made from 6061 TB aluminium, which gives the bike both stability and a low weight of just 12 kg. The maximum load capacity is 130 kg, which is a testament to the bike’s strength and durability.

The braking system features Shimano BR-MT400 brakes and Shimano BL-MT401 brake levers, which ensure reliable and precise braking performance. The drivetrain is equipped with the Shimano Deore Trekking Shadow RD-T6000-SGS, 3x10, which, in combination with the Shimano Deore SL-M6000 shifters and the Shimano Deore Trekking FD-T6000-H3L front derailleur, enables smooth and efficient gear changes. The crankset consists of a Shimano Deore Trekking FC-T6010 with 48-36-26-tooth chainrings, and the cassette is a Shimano CS-HG500, 10-speed.

The SR Suntour NRX-D LO fork, with 63 mm of travel, provides additional comfort and control on uneven terrain. The bike is fitted with ATB Aluminium Comp Reflex pedals, which ensure good power transfer. The bottom bracket is a 68 mm BSA, which contributes to the stability and durability of the drivetrain.

The handlebars are Oxygen Driver, 640 mm wide, which, together with the Oxygen Driver stem and the STEVENS AH 1 1/8" headset, enable precise steering. The rims are Oxygen PRO-D A19 in size 19 x 622, and the tyres are Schwalbe Smart Sam Performance in size 42-622, which ensure good traction and durability. The hubs are Shimano HB-M3050 at the front and FH-M3050 at the rear.

The saddle is a comfortable Oxygen Havoc, mounted on an Oxygen Driver seatpost. This combination ensures a comfortable riding position even on longer rides. The 2020 Stevens 6X Gent therefore offers excellent value for money at €999 and is ideal for riders looking for a reliable and well-equipped bike.
