"A beautiful bike" - the Sonora GX AXS convinces in the Velozine test

A "beautiful bike, this Sonora from Stevens, that's all I can say" is the conclusion of the Velozine test rider. Above all, the well thought-out, proven geometry of the carbon frame finds favour, as it creates an efficient yet relaxed riding position that can quickly be made a good deal sportier with the help of a few simple and above all self-executable tricks, such as an inverted stem, should this be desired by the rider.
