Expirience with the Stevens SONORA GENERATION 2

Ludwig Döhl In terms of riding in light terrain, the SONORA is an absolute banger. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The Racebike von Stevens wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. If a high-quality shifting system is particularly important to you, you probably will not be happy with the Stevens Hardtail. Heavy riders over 85 kilos aren´t likely to encounter too many problems with the high weight of 11,8 kg. For lighter riders, this could be a disturbance. Nevertheless: The Rock Shox fork works extremely well for a 2299 Euro bike. With 5 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Stevens sizing runs small.
