Stevens Courier Luxe Lady Granite Grey

The “Courier Luxe Lady Granite Grey” model from Stevens, released in 2021, is a high-quality and versatile bicycle that stands out for its well-thought-out features and robust construction. The frame is made from 6061 TB aluminium, which gives the bike both stability and a low weight of just 13 kg. The maximum load capacity is 130 kg, which is a testament to its solid construction.

The braking system features Shimano BR-MT200 brakes and Shimano BL-MT201 brake levers, which ensure reliable braking performance. The gear system is a Shimano Nexus SG-C6001-8D with 8 speeds, operated via the Shimano Alfine 8 SL-S503 gear lever. This combination allows for precise and easy gear selection.

The bike’s fork is a STEVENS S-Lite aluminium fork, which contributes to its overall stability. Lighting is provided by a B+M Eyc T Senso+ 50 Lux front light at the front and a Shine Evo rear light at the rear, both powered by a Shutter Precision PL-8X dynamo. The pedals are ATB Alu Pro Reflex and the bottom bracket is a BSA 68 mm.

The bike’s drivetrain consists of a Gates CDN Centre Track carbon drive belt, combined with a Gates S250 CDN crankset with 50 teeth and a Gates CDC Centre Track sprocket with 24 teeth. This belt drive combination is renowned for its durability and low maintenance requirements.

The handlebars are Oxygen Scorpo, 630 mm wide, fitted to an Oxygen Scorpo stem. The headset is a STEVENS AH Taper 1 1/8"-1 1/2". The rims are Oxygen PRO-D A19, 19 x 622, and the tyres are Schwalbe Marathon Racer, 40-622, which ensure a comfortable ride.

The front hub is a Shutter Precision PL-8X and the rear hub is a Shimano Nexus. The saddle is a comfortable Selle Royal Viper Lady, fitted to an Oxygen Scorpo seatpost. Other features include SKS mudguards, a chain guard, a Pletscher Comp kickstand and a Racktime Shine Evo IMM luggage rack.

The price for the Stevens Courier Luxe Lady Granite Grey is 1499 EUR, which represents good value for money given the high-quality components and well-thought-out specification.
