Stevens Courier Luxe Forma Granite Grey

The “Courier Luxe Forma Granite Grey” model from the “Stevens” brand, released in 2021, is a high-quality and reliable bicycle designed for urban use. Priced at EUR 1,499, it offers a wide range of technical refinements and features that ensure both comfort and safety.

The bike’s frame is made from 6061 aluminium, which not only ensures robustness but also reduces the bike’s weight to just 13 kg. The maximum load capacity is 130 kg, which provides ample scope for the rider and additional luggage. The fork is a STEVENS S-Lite aluminium fork, which contributes to stability and steering precision.

Shimano BR-MT200 brakes have been fitted, complemented by Shimano BL-MT201 brake levers, which ensure reliable and effective braking performance. The gear system is a Shimano Nexus SG-C6001-8D with 8 speeds, controlled via the Shimano Alfine 8 SL-S503 gear lever. This combination enables smooth and precise gear changes.

The lighting system comprises the B+M Eyc T Senso+ front light (50 lux) and the Shine Evo rear light, which, together with the Shutter Precision PL-8X dynamo, ensure a reliable and efficient light supply. Power is transmitted via the Gates CDN Centre Track Carbon Drive Belt, which is combined with a Gates S250 CDN crankset (50 t) and a Gates CDC Centre Track sprocket (24 t). This ensures quiet and low-maintenance operation.

Both the handlebars and the stem are Oxygen Scorpo models, with the handlebars measuring 630 mm in width. The headset is a STEVENS AH Taper 1 1/8"-1 1/2". The rims are Oxygen PRO-D A19, measuring 19 x 622, fitted with Schwalbe Marathon Racer tyres in size 40-622, which provide a good balance between speed and puncture resistance.

The hubs consist of a Shutter Precision PL-8X at the front and a Shimano Nexus at the rear. The saddle is a Selle Royal Viper Lady, mounted on an Oxygen Scorpo seatpost, which provides additional comfort. SKS mudguards and a chain guard are also fitted to protect the rider from dirt.

Additional features include ATB Alu Pro Reflex pedals, a BSA 68 mm bottom bracket, a Pletscher Comp kickstand and a Racktime Shine Evo IMM luggage rack. This specification makes the “Courier Luxe Forma Granite Grey” an ideal companion for everyday use in the city.
