Hamburg flagship
In the STEVENS E Crossover series, the E Inception TR 8.8.1 FEQ takes on the role of the most technically sophisticated SUV. Its frame concept is based on the trail-heavy E Inception E MTB platform, but its geometry and ergonomics have been specifically designed for greater comfort. Slacker angles, a generous reach and a shorter stack make the bike suitable for everyday use without losing sight of its sporty DNA.
120 millimeters of suspension travel at the front and rear ensure off-road capability and noticeable comfort, whether on cobblestones or forest paths. The large 29-inch wheels guarantee a smooth ride and confident rolling over obstacles. Particularly noteworthy is the Bosch anti-lock braking system which, in conjunction with the Magura MT C brake system, prevents the wheels from locking and significantly increases riding safety. The large Kiox 500 display allows you to keep an overview at all times, while the luggage rack suitable for touring and a powerful Supernova lighting system underline the well thought-out concept.
Sporty, confident and safe
It is clear from the first few meters of the test: the Bosch off-road power unit delivers powerful thrust and the rigid chassis converts its own pedal power almost without loss. At support level four, the power output increases by an impressive 340 percent. Thanks to 800 watt hours of battery capacity, even long tours are no problem.
The sensitive suspension elements can be locked precisely and offer the right performance on any terrain. Whether on gravel, forest paths or trails - the STEVENS E Inception remains stable, agile and easy to control even in narrow passages thanks to the wide MTB handlebars. Even in wet conditions, grippy studded tires and ABS ensure maximum safety. Even when fully loaded and with a system weight of up to 140 kilograms, the bike reliably stays on track and remains confident.
Conclusion
The STEVENS E Inception TR 8.8.1 FEQ meets the highest off-road demands. It impresses with its sensitive suspension, powerful drive, long range and agile riding performance - and received a score of 1.4 (very good) in the test.
