Stevens Izoard Disc Python

The “Izoard Disc Python” model from Stevens, released in 2021, is a high-quality road bike that stands out for its well-thought-out specifications and low weight. The frame is made from Carbon SL Fibre, which not only ensures high stability but also a low total weight of just 8 kg. The maximum rider weight is 115 kg, which underlines its solid and robust construction.

For the brakes, Stevens has opted for the Shimano 105 BR-R7070 model, which ensures reliable braking performance and safety. The derailleur is also from the Shimano 105 series – specifically the RD-R7000-GS model – which offers 22-speed gear shifting. The front derailleur is the Shimano 105 FD-R7000-FL, which ensures precise and rapid gear changes.

The Izoard Disc Python’s fork is made entirely of carbon and is designated the STEVENS Full Carbon SL, which further contributes to weight reduction and provides good shock absorption. The bottom bracket is a Pressfit BB86, which enables efficient power transfer. The crankset is the Shimano 105 FC-R7000 model with a 52-36 tooth configuration, whilst the cassette is also from the Shimano 105 series and is specified as the CS-R7000 with an 11-speed configuration.

Further features include the Oxygen Scorpo Aero handlebars and the Oxygen Scorpo Road stem, both of which ensure an aerodynamic and comfortable riding position. The headset is the STEVENS Race Taper 1 1/8"-1 1/2" model, which ensures precise steering. The tyres are Continental Grand Sport Race SL in size 25-622, which are renowned for their excellent grip and low rolling resistance. The wheelset consists of Fulcrum Racing 900 DB wheels, which contribute to the bike’s overall performance.

The saddle is the Oxygen Cyrius model, which offers comfort even on longer rides, whilst the seatpost is also from the Oxygen Scorpo Road series and provides additional stability.

The price for this model is 2099 EUR, which represents good value for money given the high-quality components and low weight.
