IF your rooTS LIE IN rACINg, you AdoPT A SIMPLE PhILoSoPhy: PuSh ANd drIVE uNTIL you rEACh ThE FINISh – IN WINNINg PoSITIoN. 6 We started out in 1991. At the first Eurobike show, our first self-made frames saw the light. In that same year, we developed our first carbon MTBs and racing bikes. STEVENS was founded by Werner and Wolfgang von hacht, two brothers who are long time enthusiasts about the sport of cycling. This was the birth of a new german brand that since then has established excellent reputation, in germany as well as internationally. The bikes made in hamburg are sold in 24 countries, and there are 500 authorized STEVENS retailers – just in germany. over the last years, retailers have elected the STEVENS bikes three times as best in “brand
attractiveness”, and in 2010 we were even named “best bike vendor of all brands” (SAZ). Naturally, we’re quite proud of these awards. Sometimes we still reminisce about the ground-breaking reviews of our mountain bikes “7.1.2” and “8.1.2”–which achieved best ratings in renowned bike magazines – or the firstplace of our Italian racing frame “STEVENS Star”, back in ‘95 and ‘96. Since then, our bikes have earned numerous decorations. The STEVENS “Jazz”, which won the Stiftung Warentest test in 2004, lay ground to our current success in the trekking and city segments. The crowning award might have been the “Milestone of the year 2009”, which the STEVENS “Xenith” earned last year. We also take great pride in the athletes we support: They repay our support with championship titles and highly valuable feedback about our bikes. Among them are german champions, European champions, World champions and olympic medalists, together representing STEVENS in almost any kind of bike racing: road racing, triathlons, cyclocross, time trials and mountain bike racing, only to name a few. True professionals like Jens Schwedler, Mike Kluge, hanka Kupfernagel, Marianne Vos, daniel unger, Lisa Norden, ralf Eggert, Philipp Walsleben, Niels Albert, Katie Compton, Amber Neben and Arnaud Jouffroy direct our attention to aspects that may enhance the performance of STEVENS bikes even further. Belgian champion Sanne Cant’s conclusion is: “STEVENS – The best bike I ever had.“ our developers and engineers strive to innovate each and every year, impacting the bike scene and enhancing your daily cycling experience. Because we know further improvement and enhancements are always possible. Naturally, the achievements of the last 20 years make us feel honored. But first and foremost, they dictate our future duties. We have not yet achieved our goals. STEVENS MTB 2011 7
