Stevens Camino AXS

The “Camino AXS” model from Stevens, released in 2024, is a high-quality gravel bike that stands out for its advanced features and the use of modern materials. The price for this model is 4399 EUR. The Camino AXS frame is made from Carbon SL Fibre, which contributes to a low total weight of just 8 kg. Despite its light weight, the maximum rider weight is rated at 130 kg, ensuring high load-bearing capacity and stability.

For the braking system, Stevens has opted for the SRAM Force AXS, both front and rear, combined with SRAM Centerline X-A2 brake discs with a diameter of 160 mm. This combination ensures excellent braking performance and safety in a wide variety of conditions. The derailleur is the SRAM Force AXS RD-FRC-1E-D2, which, with 12 speeds, enables precise and versatile gear selection. The crankset is the SRAM Force 1 D2 DUB FC-FRC-1W-D2 with a 40-tooth chainring, whilst the cassette is a SRAM XG-1271, also 12-speed.

The Camino AXS’s fork is a STEVENS Full Carbon SL, which helps to reduce weight and improve riding dynamics. The bottom bracket is a Pressfit BB86, which ensures optimum power transfer. The handlebars are Oxygen Scorpo Aero Gravel, which, together with the Deda Superbox stem and the Deda DCR headset (1 1/8"–1 1/2"), enable an ergonomic and aerodynamic riding position.

The wheelset consists of Zipp 303 S DB wheels fitted with Continental Terra Speed tyres (40-622). This combination offers excellent rolling performance and grip on a variety of surfaces. The saddle is an Oxygen Triton, which offers comfort and support even on long rides, whilst the seatpost is also an Oxygen Scorpo to round off the overall package.

Overall, the Stevens Camino AXS is a well-designed and high-performance gravel bike that is suitable for both ambitious riders and recreational cyclists. The combination of high-quality components and advanced technology makes it an attractive choice in its price range.
