Expirience with the Stevens Sonora ES

Ludwig Döhl In terms of riding on long tours, the Stevens Hardtail is an absolute banger. With its balanced handling, riding the Stevens Hardtail feels really intuitive. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Sonora ES suite the taste of most bikers. But the Stevens Sonora ES still has an ace up its sleeve: compared to their direct competitors, Stevens installed higher-quality wheels. Stevens gives 5 years warranty on the bike. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Stevens Sonora ES sizing runs small.
