Whether it’s a long tour or the daily commute, the Aviolo 8.1 is a trekking bike focused on the essentials. Instead of chasing every trend, STEVENS has created a bike with classic touring strengths – and this impressed the testers at MYBIKE magazine. With a score of 1.9, the Aviolo 8.1 won the test and received the ‘MYBIKE Tip’ award.
MYBIKE described it as the ‘most classic trekking bike in the test’, highlighting its excellent comfort and easy-going handling. The upright riding position, comfortable touchpoints and balanced ride quality make it the ideal choice for relaxed long-distance journeys.
MYBIKE particularly praised the Aviolo 8.1 for its smooth and balanced ride. It offers excellent stability and confident handling without feeling heavy or slow. The Shimano CUES 2x11 drivetrain provides a wide gear range for daily rides, weekend trips and longer tours, while the hydraulic Tektro Volans disc brakes deliver powerful and precise braking performance.
The Aviolo 8.1 is perfectly equipped for longer tours as well. Its robust Racktime luggage rack supports up to 30 kilograms of load, providing five kilograms more capacity than many comparable models. The smooth-rolling Schwalbe Marathon Efficiency tires complete the package and perform especially well on asphalt and well-maintained paths.
The extensive specification includes the SR Suntour NRX 32 air suspension fork, a powerful Trelock lighting system and a premium Shutter Precision hub dynamo. Available in frame sizes from XS to XXL and with both HT (HighTube) and LT (LowTube) frame designs, the Aviolo 8.1 offers an outstanding choice for a wide range of riders.
In its final review, the MYBIKE team especially praised the ‘excellent balance of performance and comfort’, the wide choice of frame sizes and the robust luggage rack. The result: a top rating of 1.9, the test victory in the comparison and the ‘MYBIKE Tip’ award.
For riders looking for a modern trekking bike designed for everyday use, touring and comfortable travel, MYBIKE’s review impressively confirms the strengths of the Aviolo 8.1.
