Like A Fine Black Custom-Tailored Suit …

… the Boulevard Luxe enters the city stage in style. The enjoyably low-maintenance combination of gear hub and belt drive make sure this is a lasting impression. You can't expect anything less than reluctant functionality from the ergonomically bent handlebar to the stationary rear light and all the remaining complete specs. That's it!

Comfortable city and touring bike w/ maintenance-friendly belt drive and disc brakes
Responsive suspension fork with aluminium steerer tube
Stiffness and comfort due to tapered seat tube
High-quality Shimano Nexus 8-speed gear hub
Busch+Müller LED light (front and rear)

Technology

Belt Drive

Silent-running, low maintenance and low weight.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes (Trekking)

Braking power can be perfectly modulated anytime.

Tapered Seat Tube

Increases riding comfort and provides stiffness and drive-train efficiency.

Hydroforming

Optimum load-specific shape by water pressure.

Triple Butted, Double Butted

For light and stable frame: Frame tubes with thinner walls in the middle and thicker walls at the ends.

Tire clearance up to 47 mm

More comfort and flat protection with up to 47 mm wide tires.

Integrated Pannier Rack Strut

Invisibly provides more stability and lateral stiffness.

Belt Drive

A belt drive, as the name suggests, uses a drive belt instead of a chain to transfer power from the cranks to the rear wheel. Since the belt cannot be split like a chain the special STEVENS frame utilizes a splittable seat stay, but the advantages are convincing: lower weight, silent operation, significantly lower maintenance effort.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes (Trekking)

There is no brake system more reliable than hydraulic disc brakes - that is why we strongly advice everyone, who is riding their bike (nearly) 12 months a year to choose one of our models with a disc brake. Brake power is easy to modulate and does not fade a bit in the wet. Also the brakes are almost maintenance-free. And your local STEVENS dealer will gladly explain to you what you need to take care of when removing and re-installing a wheel.

Tapered Seat Tube

The seat tube tapers from top to bottom. At the top it fits a slim 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.

Hydroforming

Using water pressure aluminium tubes are transformed from their original round shape into their ideal shape determined by STEVENS engineers and designers.

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.

Tire clearance up to 47 mm

Those who are riding on rougher surfaces now can mount up to 47 mm wide tires to benefit from more comfort and flat protection that derive from their larger volume, and that can be ridden with lower pressure. Frame and fork are already prepared accordingly.

Even when you can't see the strut that connects the pannier rack to the fender - it is there. The strut runs below the fender and provides - in connection with the rack mounted to the fender - more stability and lateral stiffness.

STEVENS city and trekking bicycles are intended for hard-surface terrain, i.e. for tarred roads and bicycle lanes or gravel field tracks, where the wheels do not lose ground contact. These bicycles are not suitable for off-road and competitive use of any kind whatsoever.

Due to their design and fittings, STEVENS city and trekking bicycles are not always suitable for being used on public roads. If you want to use them on public roads, these bikes must be fitted with the prescribed equipment. Observe the traffic rules when riding on public roads. For more information see chapter “Legal Requirements for Riding on Public Roads” in your comprehensive STEVENS user manual on the enclosed CD-ROM.
