Stevens Jazz Forma

The "Jazz Forma" model from Stevens, released in 2023, offers a balanced combination of functionality and comfort at a price of 999 EUR. The frame is made from robust 6061 aluminium, giving the bike a total weight of 16 kg and allowing for a maximum load of up to 130 kg.

Braking performance is provided by Tektro HD-T275 brake levers and calipers at both the front and rear, complemented by Shimano SM-RT30 brake discs with a diameter of 160 mm. The gear system consists of a Shimano Alivio Trekking RD-T4000-SGS with 24 speeds, controlled via Shimano SL-M315 shift levers and a Shimano Altus FD-M310-M3 front derailleur.

The SR Suntour NEX HLO fork, with 63 mm of travel, ensures additional riding comfort. For lighting, the bike is fitted with a B+M Upp front light and an AXA Juno rear light, powered by a Shimano DH-3D37 dynamo. The City Reflex pedals offer a secure grip, whilst the 68 mm BSA bottom bracket and the Shimano FC-TY501 crankset with 48-38-28 teeth ensure efficient power transfer.

The cassette is a Shimano CS-HG200-8, 8-speed. The handlebars are Oxygen Driver, 630 mm wide, combined with an adjustable Oxygen Versa stem and a STEVENS MTB 1 1/8" headset. The front and rear rims are Oxygen RM-19, 19 x 622, fitted with Schwalbe Citizen Active-Line tyres in size 47-622.

The front hub is also a Shimano DH-3D37 model, whilst the rear hub is a Formula CL-52. The saddle is a Selle Royal Wave Lady, mounted on an Oxygen Driver seatpost. SKS mudguards protect against dirt and spray, and a STEVENS kickstand and a Racktime luggage rack complete the bike’s specification.

The Stevens Jazz Forma thus offers a well-thought-out specification for everyday use as well as for longer tours, and impresses with its reliable technology and comfortable features.
