A bike on which riders with a penchant for a sporty riding position immediately feel comfortable, and thanks to the lightweight wheelset and short caster, the top model from Stevens is also very manoeuvrable. The design of the frame shape and paintwork is almost restrained, but the "SLC" offers very good technical values: the very light frame combines high riding stability and good comfort. The Hamburg-based company left nothing to chance when it came to the equipment: Campagnolo's "Super Record" groupset and add-on parts from Ritchey's "Superlogic" series - a racing bike today can hardly be equipped more nobly. A small downer: Due to imperfectly glued tubular tyres, a small imbalance was noticeable in the practical test. This does not prevent the "SLC" from being the best Stevens bike of all time and an absolute professional racer.
