Faster. Of course.

We have refined our top-of-the line aluminium cross bikes for you to compete with more speed AND control. The new full carbon fork with tapered steerer 1.5"!) easily handles any force caused by flatmount disc brakes and now can even be retrofitted with mud guards. The completely new Ultegra Cyclocross 11-speed drivetrain always keeps the wheels rolling - Fulcrum wheels, securely fastened with thru-axles and shod in Schwalbe X-One All-round tires. This versatile machine will get you to the finish line faster, safer, lighter.

  • Innovative aluminum cross bike w/ hydraulic Flatmount disc brakes
  • Lightweight and lateral stiff full carbon fork w/ fender mounts
  • New Ultegra 2x11-speed Cyclocross drivetrain
  • 12mm thru axles front and rear
  • Lightweight Fulcrum Racing wheelset plus fast Schwalbe X-One Allround tires

Flatmount-Scheibenbremsen

Was bei den Profis noch umstritten ist, davon können Fahrer eines STEVENS Arcalis, Aspin, Comet oder Ventoux DISC schon heute profitieren: hydraulisch betätigte Scheibenbremsen, die sich bei minimaler Handkraft perfekt dosieren lassen – auch und gerade bei Nässe, wenn ihre Bremskraft kaum nachlässt. Das ist in heiklen Situationen im Straßenverkehr ebenso von Vorteil wie auf einer rasenden Passabfahrt in den Dolomiten. Oder auf den Cross-Kursen, auf denen es gilt, möglichst lange schnell zu bleiben.

Der neue Montagestandard an allen STEVENS Disc-Rennern und Cyclocrossern nennt sich übrigens Flatmount. Mit ihm lassen sich die Bremszangen noch näher und eleganter an Rahmen und Gabeln platzieren als bislang. Das spart Gewicht, ohne dass darunter die Performance leidet. Und es sieht auch noch besser aus.

Systemlaufräder

Gerade an einer ultraleichten Rennmaschine müssen bissige Scheibenbremsen die optimalen Voraussetzungen vorfinden, um ihre Qualitäten in jeder Fahrsituation voll ausspielen zu können. Also sind Rahmen und Gabeln unserer Disc-Renner mit maximal sicheren 12-mm-Steckachsen ausgestattet.

Full Carbon Fork

The most intelligent way of lightweight design for STEVENS engineers is to use carbon forks with 100% carbon fibers that run all way though from dropout to steerer tube in one single piece. This results in an amazing riding experience on and off-road: Lightweight, knife-sharp steering precision effortless climbing and maximum lateral stiffness even when combined with disc brakes.

Smooth Welded

Additional step in welding. The first, rippled weld, typical for aluminium, is covered with a second smoother weld. This not only improves looks but also lowers the risk of notches in this spot, which makes the frames more durable.

Tapered Seat Tube

The seat tube tapers from top to bottom. At the top it fits a slim 27.2mm seatpost that offers some flex and therefore increases comfort especially when riding over rough ground. At the bottom the large diameter nicley flows into the bottom bracket shell and downtube to provide great stiffness and drivetrain efficiency.

Triple Butted, Double Butted

Meaning a frame tube has three or two different wall thicknesses along its length. Triple butted (TB) is the usual technology with STEVENS high-quality frames.
Tubes with different wall thicknesses are optimally adjusted to certain ways of manufacturing or to withstand specific loads. Where the highest loads occur or where tubes are welded, walls are the thickest. Butted tubes allow frame weight to be lower by several hundred grams.

Tapered Steerer / Tapered Headtube

Fork shaft (or steerer tube) and head tube are tapered, meaning their diameter increases from top to bottom resulting in a conical shape. The diameter needs to be bigger at the bottom since this is where higher stress is applied. Riders will benefit from a noticeable higher steering precision almost without weight penalty. Also tapered steerers feature a smoother force transfer (like forces caused by hard braking) to the downtube than forks with a continuous 1 1/8" diameter.
