Reliable yet daring. Understated demeanor and deeply convinced of liberty of mind and action. Hamburg inspires. To repeatedly question oneself and to endeavor to improve on every detail is part of everyday life here. These are the best conditions to build lightweight sporty bikes of the highest quality.

Our high-end bikes are made li- terally before our eyes. The process of turning an idea into a real product can be witnessed and monitored at any stage. It is perceptible, comprehensible, and always exciting! And as a result, a two-wheeled reality emerges that can aptly be described as “joy of riding”.

ALLROUND BRAND STATEMENT QUALITY CONTROL 9 CONSISTENCY AND INDEPENDENCE There are two characteristics that STEVENS bikes are known for – lightweight and extremely durable. We’ll let you in on a little secret – we succeed in combining these seemingly oppos- ing characteristics by developing, then testing, testing and more testing. And the testing con- tinues well past the final phase where our engineers are applying their finishing touches to their masterpieces, straight through to serial production. We continuously monitor our stock production to ensure that it remains at the same high quality level as our prototype. This is why we do not separate development from production, as it is all part of the same continuous process. This is also why our designers are personally involved in and responsible for the assurance of quality in serial production. INDEPENDENT EXPERTISE SELF AWARENESS We may be our own harshest critics, but just to STEVENS employees are experts in their jobs be sure we call on outside help when it comes to as most of them are avid cyclists themselves. quality control.
