Stevens Esprit LT

The "Esprit LT" model from Stevens from 2024 is a high-quality bike that is characterised by its sophisticated features and robust construction. The frame is made of 6061 TB aluminium, which gives the bike a high level of stability and a permissible total weight of 130 kg. With a tare weight of 15 kg, the Esprit LT is also relatively light and easy to handle.

The brake system of the Esprit LT is equipped with high-quality components from Shimano. Shimano BR-MT410 brakes are used at the front and rear, which, in combination with the Shimano SM-RT54 brake discs (180 mm at the front and 160 mm at the rear), ensure reliable braking performance. The Shimano BL-MT402-3A brake levers enable precise control of the braking force.

Shifting is provided by the Shimano CUES U6000 Shadow RD-U6020-11 SGS system with 22 gears. The Shimano CUES U6000 SL-U6000-L and SL-U6000-11R shifters and the Shimano CUES U6000 FD-U6010-LL3 front derailleur ensure smooth and efficient gear selection. The Shimano CUES U6000 crankset with 46-32 teeth and the Shimano CS-LG400-11 cassette round off the shifting system.

The SR Suntour NCX-D Air LO fork with 63 mm travel ensures comfort and control on uneven terrain. For lighting, the Esprit LT is equipped with a B+M Briq-S T Senso+ front light and a B+M Shine Evo rear light, which are powered by the Shutter Precision PL-8 dynamo.

The bike has ATB Alu Pro Reflex pedals, which ensure a secure grip. The handlebars and stem are from the Oxygen Scorpo series, while the headset is a STEVENS AH Taper 1 1/8"-1 1/2". The rims are Oxygen RM-26 Disc models in size 26 x 622, fitted with Continental Contact Urban tyres (47-622), which offer good riding characteristics and durability.

The hubs are from Shutter Precision (front) and Formula CL-26 (rear). The saddle, a Selle Royal Explora Female, and the seat post from Oxygen Scorpo offer comfort even on longer rides. Other features include SKS mudguards, a Pletscher Comp kickstand and the Racktime Shine Evo RTA pannier rack, which make the bike suitable for everyday use.

The Stevens Esprit LT from 2024 is available at a price of EUR 1699 and offers a balanced combination of quality, comfort and functionality.
