Stevens Sonora

The “Sonora” model from Stevens, released in 2023, is a high-quality mountain bike that stands out for its technical specifications and the materials used. The frame is made from Carbon SL HMF, which not only gives the bike a low weight of 11 kg but also ensures high stability and stiffness. The maximum load capacity is 115 kg, which is a testament to its robustness and the quality of its build.

The braking system features SRAM Level T-A1 brakes at the front and rear, combined with SRAM Centerline A2 brake discs, which have a diameter of 180 mm at the front and 160 mm at the rear. This combination ensures reliable and precise braking performance in a variety of conditions. The drivetrain consists of a 12-speed SRAM SX Eagle RD-SX-1-B1, controlled by a SRAM NX Eagle trigger shifter. This enables a wide range of gear ratios and smooth gear changes.

The Rock Shox SID SL fork, with 100 mm of travel, provides effective damping and enhances riding comfort on uneven terrain. The bottom bracket is a Pressfit BB92, which, together with the SRAM SX Eagle B DUB crankset featuring a 34-tooth chainring, offers efficient power transfer. The cassette is a SRAM PG 1210 Eagle with 12-speed gearing.

The handlebars and stem are Oxygen Scorpo MTB models, with the handlebars measuring 740 mm in width, which allows for good control and stability. The STEVENS MTB Taper headset contributes to precise steering. The rims are Oxygen RM-26 Disc models in size 26 x 622, fitted with Schwalbe Racing Ray tyres at the front and Schwalbe Racing Ralph tyres at the rear, both in size 57-622, which ensure good grip and low rolling resistance.

The front hub is a Strummer CLTP and the rear hub is a Shimano FH-MT400-B, both of which ensure reliable performance. The saddle is an Oxygen Roccia model, mounted on an Oxygen Scorpo MTB seatpost, which combines comfort and stability. Overall, the Stevens Sonora 2023 offers a balanced combination of lightness, stability and performance for discerning mountain bikers, priced at 2299 EUR.
