Stevens Boulevard Luxe Gent

The "Boulevard Luxe Gent" model from Stevens, released in 2023, is a high-quality bicycle characterised by its well-thought-out features and robust construction. The frame is made from 6061 TB aluminium, which gives the bike high stability whilst keeping its weight down to a moderate 16 kg. The maximum load capacity is 130 kg, providing ample scope for the rider and additional luggage.

For the braking system, Stevens has opted for Tektro HD-T280 brakes, fitted to both the front and rear, with matching brake discs: a Tektro TR180-35A at the front with a diameter of 180 mm and a Tektro TR160-35 at the rear with a diameter of 160 mm. This combination ensures reliable and powerful braking performance in a variety of conditions.

The Boulevard Luxe Gent is fitted with a Shimano Nexus SG-C6001-8D 8-speed gear system, controlled via the Shimano Nexus 8 SL-C6000 gear lever. This system offers precise and low-maintenance gear changes, ideal for urban use. The fork is an SR Suntour NX1-Coil LO with 63 mm of travel, providing extra comfort on uneven roads.

For lighting, the bike is fitted with a B+M IQ Myc Friendly T Senso+ front light and a B+M Toplight 2C+ rear light, powered by a Shimano DH-3D37 dynamo. These lighting components ensure good visibility and safety on the road.

Power is transmitted via a Gates CDN Centre Track Carbon Drive Belt System, comprising a Gates S250 CDN crankset with 50 teeth and a Gates CDC Centre Track sprocket with 24 teeth. This belt drive system is renowned for its durability and low maintenance.
