Stevens under power: The hardtails with Bosch and Shimano power

The Hamburg-based bike manufacturer Stevens has completely revamped its e-mountainbike range for 2017 with Bosch and Shimano motors and Plus tires. A whopping five new hardtails and four new e-fullys cover the entire range of mountain bike disciplines with 100 to 160 millimetres of suspension travel. Ride presents the new e-hardtails first.

The Stevens e-hardtail frames have a shorter reach and a higher stack than their predecessors, offering a more upright riding position and a more comfortable ride.

The Stevens E-Wave+ with Bosch Performance motor, solid equipment, 100 mm suspension fork and 2.6'' tires is the entry-level model. Just like the E-Cayolle+ with a slightly twisted Bosch CX motor including underbody protection and 120 mm suspension travel, the frame sizes of the entry-level E-MTB start at 14'' and go up to 22''. This means that the range of e-mountainbikes at Stevens is also expanding in terms of frame sizes.

With the E-Agnello+ and the E-Scope+, the Stevens hardtails have a sportier design and equipment: Rock Shox Reba suspension fork and Shimano XT equipment provide plenty of mountain bike touring performance. What sets them apart: The E-Agnello+ is given a boost by the 75 Newton meters of the Bosch Performance CX motor.

On the E-Scope+, on the other hand, the new Shimano Steps E8000 motor, which is powered by a 500 Wh battery, provides pedaling support. One visible difference: the motor is largely built towards the front and connects seamlessly to the down tube - which makes for an elegant overall appearance, also thanks to the side covers and underbody protection, the motor and frame look like a single unit.
