Filigree parts need to withstand extreme forces.<br />

The Lay-up makes it possible to construct rear sections<br />

that are horizontally stiff and vertically flexible at the<br />

same time. The result: High stiffness values allow you<br />

to bring all your muscle power directly to the wheels<br />

and to the asphalt, while at the same time the frame's<br />

vertical flexibility feels very comfortable on bumpy trails.<br />

Many parameters to the carbon manufacturing process<br />

need to be tweaked individually for each section of the<br />

frame. Fibre strength and arrangement vary, the choice<br />

Crash replacement<br />

We help you to properly protect your investment,<br />

so that you can choose a high-quality carbon bicycle<br />

Fall, crash, accident. Carbon frame damaged beyond<br />

repair! Our CRASH REPLACEMENT program helps: if a<br />

STEVENS road or MTB carbon frame built since the 2010<br />

season is damaged in an accident, you can purchase<br />

a replacement frame at a special discount of 50 %. For<br />

the detailed terms and conditions refer to your STEVENS<br />

of epoxy resin strongly influences the character of the frame, and some of the most filigree parts have<br />

to withstand the highest forces. This includes the dropouts, which we create from "black gold" as well.<br />

Everything that needs to come together for a perfect carbon frame: the responsibility to work with the<br />

highest precision, the passion for perfection, the hunger for surprisingly different solutions – carbon<br />

frame construction is the pinnacle of engineering. And one more requirement: experience! Since twenty<br />

years we have been working with carbon fibre. Even in 1990, when STEVENS just started out, we<br />

built the first MTB and road bicycle frames from this fascinating material. Do you know of anyone who<br />

started using carbon fibre professionally earlier?<br />
