Stevens Sonora 29" Carbon Venom Green

The “Sonora 29 Carbon Venom Green” model from Stevens, released in 2021, is a high-quality mountain bike designed for demanding off-road and trail riding. Priced at 1,799 EUR, this bike offers a balanced combination of performance and value.

The Sonora 29’s frame is made from Carbon SL HMF, which not only gives the bike a low weight of 12 kg but also ensures high stability and stiffness. The maximum rider weight is 115 kg, which is sufficient for most riders.

Braking performance is provided by Shimano BR-MT410 hydraulic disc brakes, controlled by Shimano BL-MT401 brake levers. This combination offers reliable and controlled braking power in a wide range of conditions. The drivetrain is a SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed system, operated by the SRAM NX Eagle trigger shifter. This enables precise and rapid gear changes, which are particularly important on challenging terrain.

The bike’s fork is a Rock Shox Recon Silver RL R Air with 100 mm of travel, which ensures excellent shock absorption and control. The bottom bracket is a Pressfit BB92, and the crankset consists of a SRAM SX Eagle B DUB with 34 teeth. The cassette is also from SRAM – specifically the PG 1210 Eagle – and is also a 12-speed model.

The handlebars and stem are both from the Oxygen Scorpo MTB series, with the handlebars measuring 700 mm in width. The headset is a STEVENS Race Taper 1 1/8"-1 1/2", which ensures precise steering. The rims are Oxygen PRO-D X23, measuring 23 x 622, and the tyres are Schwalbe Rocket Ron Performance in size 57-622, which provide excellent grip and traction. The hubs are Shimano MT400-B, which are renowned for their reliability.

The saddle is an Oxygen Roccia, which, together with the Oxygen Scorpo MTB seatpost, ensures comfort on long rides. Overall, the Stevens Sonora 29 Carbon Venom Green offers a balanced combination of lightness, stability and performance, making it suitable for both ambitious amateur cyclists and experienced mountain bikers.
