Our test riders had almost unreserved praise for this - only Falko Brunies could not make friends with the Di2. On the other hand, the riders agreed on the other qualities: a very solid bike whose temperament, however, does not come close to that of the other expensive models. With a long wheelbase and a lot of fork travel, the Stevens stays stoically on track; twisty courses are not really its thing. Robust but comparatively heavy wheels also contribute to this set-up. The riding position is relatively relaxed.
