Stevens Strada 800 Tour

The "Strada 800 Tour" model from Stevens, released in 2023, is a versatile and well-equipped bicycle, available at a price of 1,599 EUR. The frame is made from 6061 TB aluminium, which gives the bike high stability and a maximum load capacity of up to 130 kg. Weighing just 11 kg, the Strada 800 Tour is also relatively light and therefore easy to handle.

The bike’s braking system utilises Shimano components. Both the brake levers (Shimano BL-MT201) and the front and rear brakes (Shimano BR-UR300), in combination with the Shimano SM-RT30 brake discs (160 mm front and rear), ensure reliable braking performance. The derailleur is a Shimano 105 RD-R7000-DSS with 22 speeds, operated via Shimano SL-RS700 shift levers. The front derailleur is also a Shimano 105 FD-R7000-BM, which enables precise and rapid gear changes.

The Strada 800 Tour’s fork is made from STEVENS S-Lite aluminium, which contributes to stability and steering precision. Lighting is provided by a Supernova E3 Pure 3 front light and a B+M Xeltec rear light, both of which are powered by a Shutter Precision PL-8 dynamo. The pedals are ATB Alu Comp Reflex models, which ensure a secure grip and safety.

The bottom bracket is a Pressfit BB86, whilst the crankset consists of an FSA Gossamer Pro with 50-34 teeth. The cassette is a Shimano 105 CS-R7000, 11-speed, offering a wide range of gear ratios. The handlebars and stem are both Oxygen Scorpo models, with the handlebars measuring 600 mm in width. The headset is a STEVENS Race Taper 1 1/8"-1 1/2".

The rims are Oxygen RM-R21 Disc models measuring 21 x 622, whilst the tyres are Continental Contact Speed in size 37-622. The front hub is also a Shutter Precision PL-8 model, whilst the rear hub is a Strummer CLTP-1. The saddle is a comfortable Selle Royal Vivo Ergo Sport, mounted on an Oxygen Scorpo seatpost. SKS mudguards are fitted for additional protection against dirt and water.

In summary, the 2023 Stevens Strada 800 Tour offers high-quality fittings and well-designed components that are suitable for both everyday use and longer tours.
