Stevens Izoard

The 2024 "Izoard" model from Stevens is a high-performance, well-equipped road bike designed for ambitious cyclists. Priced at 2,399 EUR, the Izoard offers excellent value for money.

The Izoard’s frame is made from Carbon SL fibre, which contributes to a low total weight of just 8 kg whilst ensuring high stability and stiffness. The maximum load capacity is 115 kg, providing ample scope for riders and additional luggage.

The Izoard’s braking system is fitted with high-quality components from Shimano. Shimano 105 BR-R7170 brakes are fitted at both the front and rear; combined with the Shimano SM-RT70 brake discs, which have a diameter of 160 mm, they ensure reliable and powerful braking performance. The Shimano 105 ST-R7120-R brake levers ensure precise control and easy handling.

The gear system consists of the Shimano 105 Shadow RD-R7100-D rear derailleur with 24 speeds, offering a wide range of gear ratios. The Shimano 105 ST-R7120-L and ST-R7120-R shift levers, together with the Shimano 105 FD-R7100-F front derailleur, ensure precise and rapid gear changes. The Shimano 105 FC-R7100 crankset with 50-34 teeth and the Shimano 105 CS-R7100 cassette with 12-speed gearing complete the drivetrain.

The Izoard’s fork is a STEVENS Full Carbon SL, which not only reduces weight but also ensures direct and precise steering. The bottom bracket is a Pressfit BB86, which ensures efficient power transfer. The Oxygen Scorpo Aero handlebars and the FSA SMR stem provide an aerodynamic riding position and a high level of comfort. The Deda DCR headset, sized 1 1/8"–1 1/2", ensures stable and precise steering.

The DT Swiss P 1800 Spline wheelset is robust and lightweight, which has a positive effect on acceleration and handling. The Continental Grand Prix tyres, size 28-622, offer excellent grip and low rolling resistance, both front and rear. The Oxygen Triton saddle and the Oxygen Scorpo Road seatpost ensure comfort on long rides.

In summary, the Stevens Izoard 2024 is a well-equipped road bike that impresses with its high-quality components and low weight. It offers outstanding performance for ambitious riders at a fair price.
