Stevens Vapor Force

The "Vapor Force" model from the "Stevens" brand, released in 2020, is a high-quality bicycle characterised by its robust construction and high-performance features. The frame is made from SL 7005 TB aluminium, ensuring a stable yet lightweight construction. The maximum load capacity is 115 kg, whilst the bike itself weighs just 8 kg, making it one of the lighter models in its class.

Both the brakes and the derailleur are from the SRAM Force 1 series, with the derailleur configured as 1x11. This enables precise and reliable gear selection. The fork is a STEVENS Full Carbon SL HMF, which helps to reduce the overall weight whilst offering high stiffness and damping.

The bottom bracket is a Pressfit BB86, ensuring optimum power transfer. The crankset is an Easton EA90 with 40 teeth, and a SRAM PG-1170 cassette is used, which also offers 11 speeds. This combination ensures an efficient and high-performance drivetrain.

The handlebars and stem are both from the Oxygen Scorpo series, with the handlebars being the Scorpo Aero model to enable an aerodynamic riding position. The headset is a STEVENS Race Taper 1 1/8"-1 1/2", which ensures precise steering and stability.

The tyres are Schwalbe X-One Allround Performance, size 33-622, fitted to a Fulcrum Racing 600 DB DRP wheelset. This combination offers excellent traction and stability on a variety of surfaces. The saddle is an Oxygen Triton, which ensures comfort even on longer rides, and the seatpost is a Scorpo Road, which provides additional stability.

Priced at 2099 EUR, the “Vapor Force” model is positioned in the upper price segment, but in return offers outstanding specifications and quality, making it suitable for both ambitious amateur cyclists and professionals.
