Expirience with the Stevens Tonga

Ludwig Döhl In terms of riding on long tours, the Stevens Racebike is an absolute banger. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 14,2 kg of the Stevens Racebike counts towards the lighter Racebike that you get for under under 800 Euro. The moderate 70 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Tonga, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 749 Euro . With 5 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship. Pay attention when selecting your size: the Stevens Hardtail sizing runs small.
