Due to the impressive and versatile qualities of this new Gravel groupset, STEVENS has equipped 5 of its top models with it.

When it comes to unrestricted suitability for everyday use and your safety, we only trust the best suppliers - and for more and more models with hub gears or bottom bracket transmission, a carbon-reinforced belt drive from the US company Gates Corporation is used instead of the usual chain.
