It also earns high marks for comfort on the fork and saddle. So it's no wonder that the rather simple and reasonably priced carbon frame is finding many buyers. This also applies to the Ultegra Di2, currently the cheapest option for an electronic drivetrain. For a "fighting price" of less than 3,000 euros, you only have to make a few compromises with the Hamburg-based supplier. Only the rather heavy Citec wheels and Scorpo brand add-on parts prevent the bike from being labelled a "dream racer", even if they are perfectly functional. If the worst comes to the worst, however, the extensive Stevens modular system leaves little to be desired.
