Stevens Courier Luxe Forma

The "Courier Luxe Forma" model from Stevens, released in 2024, is a high-quality bicycle available at a price of 1,699 EUR. The frame is made from 6061 aluminium, giving the bike a robust yet lightweight structure. Weighing 14 kg and with a maximum load capacity of 130 kg, this model is suitable for both everyday use and longer rides.

The bike’s braking system comprises Tektro HD-T280 brake levers and Tektro HD-T280 disc brakes at the front and rear. The front brake discs have a diameter of 180 mm (Tektro TR180-35A) and the rear discs 160 mm (Tektro TR160-35), ensuring reliable braking performance.

The bike features an 8-speed Shimano Nexus SG-C6001-8D gear system, controlled via the Shimano Alfine 8 SL-S503 gear lever. The fork is made from STEVENS S-Lite aluminium, which contributes to a stable and comfortable ride.

Lighting is provided by the B+M Briq-S T Senso+ front light and the B+M Shine Evo rear light, both of which are powered by a Shimano DH-UR708-3D dynamo. This ensures a constant and reliable light source for night-time riding.

The bike’s drivetrain is fitted with a Gates CDN Centre Track Carbon Drive Belt, which, in combination with the Gates S250 CDN crankset (50 t) and the Gates CDC Centre Track sprocket (24 t), ensures efficient and low-maintenance operation.

The handlebars (Oxygen Scorpo 630 mm) and stem (Oxygen Scorpo) provide an ergonomic riding position, whilst the STEVENS AH Taper headset (1 1/8"–1 1/2") ensures precise steering. The rims (Oxygen RM-26 Disc, 26 x 622) are fitted with Continental Contact Urban tyres (47-622), which provide good traction and riding comfort at both the front and rear.

Other features include ATB Alu Pro Reflex pedals, a Selle Royal Explora Female saddle, an Oxygen Scorpo seatpost, SKS mudguards, a chain guard, a Pletscher Comp kickstand and a Racktime Shine Evo RTA luggage rack. These components contribute to the bike’s functionality and versatility, making it an ideal choice for discerning female cyclists.
