Stevens C12 Lite

The "C12 Lite" model from the "Stevens" brand, released in 2022, is a high-quality bicycle characterised by its well-thought-out features and robust construction. The frame is made from 7005 TB aluminium, which gives the bike a high level of stability and durability.

The braking system is fitted with Shimano Deore BR-M6000 brakes at both the front and rear, ensuring reliable stopping power. The brake levers are Shimano BL-T6000, and the brake discs have a diameter of 180 mm at the front (SM-RT54) and 160 mm at the rear (SM-RT56).

For the gear system, Stevens has opted for the Pinion 12-speed drivetrain, which is operated via a Pinion 12-speed twist shifter. This drivetrain enables precise and comfortable gear changes. The fork is made from STEVENS S-Lite aluminium, which further contributes to the bike’s overall stability.

The bike’s lighting is provided by the B+M IQ Myc T Senso+ front light and the B+M Shine Evo rear light. Both lights are powered by a Shimano DH-UR708-3D dynamo, which ensures a constant power supply.

The bottom bracket and crankset are also from Pinion; specifically, they are the Pinion Forged C1.12 gear system. Power is transmitted via a Gates CDX Centre Track Carbon Drive Belt, which, in combination with the 28-tooth Gates CDX Centre Track sprocket, ensures efficient power transfer.

The handlebars and stem are of the Oxygen Scorpo type, with the handlebars measuring 640 mm in width. The headset is a STEVENS AH Taper 1 1/8"–1 1/2". The rims are Oxygen RM-X19 Disc, sized 19 x 622 at both the front and rear. Schwalbe Marathon Racer tyres are fitted, also sized 40-622 at both the front and rear.

The front hub is a Shimano DH-UR708-3D dynamo, and the rear hub is a Pinion H2. R hub. The saddle is a Selle Royal Vivo Ergo Sport, mounted on an Oxygen Scorpo seatpost. The bike is also fitted with SKS mudguards, which provide extra protection in bad weather.

A Pletscher Comp kickstand ensures the bike stands securely, whilst the Racktime Shine Evo RTA luggage rack offers additional storage space. The “C12 Lite” model from Stevens is available at a price of 3,099 EUR and offers a comprehensive range of features suitable for both everyday use and longer tours.
