Stevens' sport fully "Fluent" has already shone in many comparative tests. The mid-range model does not disappoint either. The frame is attractively manufactured, very stiff and not a bar product. The four-bar rear suspension offers plenty of travel and can be adjusted via the air pressure from sporty and firm to very comfortable. Stevens relies on Shimano "XT" groupsets for the equipment, and there are screw-in grips for the pleasantly wide cockpit. The "Fluent" is smooth, precise and fast downhill. The rear has reserves and extends the range of use. Nothing stands in the way of real marathon missions with the climbing-friendly riding position.
CONCLUSIONOne of the best bikes in this group. Stable, balanced and well equipped.
TUNING TIPNo tuning necessary.
