Stevens Vapor 2*11 Foggy Grey

The "Vapor 2*11 Foggy Grey" model from Stevens, released in 2021, is a versatile and high-performance bike that stands out thanks to its high-quality components and well-thought-out design. Priced at €2,099, the bike offers excellent value for money.

The bike’s frame is made from SL 7005 TB aluminium, ensuring a sturdy yet lightweight construction. Weighing just 9 kg, the Vapor 2*11 is particularly light, yet robust enough to support a maximum rider weight of up to 115 kg.

The bike’s brakes are Shimano GRX 810 BR-RX810, which ensure reliable and precise braking performance. The derailleur is also by Shimano – specifically the GRX 810 RD-RX810-D model – and offers 22 gears. The front derailleur is a Shimano Ultegra FD-R8000-BL, which enables smooth and efficient gear changes.

The bike’s fork is the STEVENS Full Carbon SL HMF, which not only reduces weight but also provides excellent damping and control. The bottom bracket is a Pressfit BB86, which contributes to stiffer and more efficient power transfer. The crankset is a Shimano Ultegra Cyclocross FC-R8000 with 46-36 teeth, whilst the cassette is a Shimano 105 CS-R7000 with 11-speed gearing.

The handlebars and stem are both from Oxygen – specifically the Scorpo Aero and Scorpo Road models – which ensure an ergonomic and comfortable riding position. The headset is the STEVENS Race Taper 1 1/8"-1 1/2", which ensures precise steering.

The tyres are Schwalbe X-One Allround Performance, size 33-622, which offer excellent grip both on the road and off-road. The wheelset is the Fulcrum Racing 600 DB DRP, renowned for its high stability and durability.

The saddle is an Oxygen Triton, which, together with the Scorpo Road seatpost, ensures comfort even on longer rides.

Overall, the Stevens Vapor 2*11 Foggy Grey is a well-equipped bike that is suitable for both ambitious cyclists and leisure riders. The combination of high-quality components and well-thought-out design makes it an excellent choice in its price range.
