Stevens – German Engineering, Pure Performance
Stevens is a German bicycle brand founded in 1991 in Hamburg by brothers Werner and Wolfgang von Hacht. Originating from a background in professional cycling and bicycle retail, the founders set out to create bikes that embody precision, performance, and durability — values that still define the company today. Over the years, Stevens has grown into one of Germany’s most respected and technically advanced manufacturers, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering to produce high-performance bicycles for both competitive and recreational riders.
Today, Stevens produces a broad range of bicycles, including road bikes, cyclocross bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, trekking and city models, and e-bikes. The brand is especially well-known in the European racing scene, where its Ventoux, Xenith, and Izoard road models, as well as its Super Prestige cyclocross bike, have achieved numerous podium finishes. Stevens’ mountain bikes, like the Jura and Sonora series, combine lightweight construction with excellent handling for technical trails. Its e-bike range — powered by systems from Bosch, Shimano, and TQ — reflects Stevens’ commitment to innovation and sustainable mobility.
The defining characteristics of Stevens bicycles are precision, reliability, and balanced performance. All bikes are designed and assembled in Hamburg, ensuring strict quality control and attention to detail. Stevens engineers optimize frame geometry and stiffness-to-weight ratios to provide efficient power transfer and responsive handling. The brand’s philosophy centers on real-world performance — every bike is built to handle demanding conditions, whether on alpine climbs, muddy cyclocross courses, or daily commutes. Stevens also places great importance on ergonomics, ensuring comfort without compromising speed or agility.
Stevens stands for quality, integrity, and passion for cycling. As an independent, family-owned company, it maintains full control over design and production decisions, prioritizing long-term value over marketing trends. The brand supports professional athletes and cycling teams, particularly in cyclocross and road racing, using their experience to refine its products. At the same time, Stevens remains deeply connected to local cycling culture in Hamburg, promoting cycling as both a sport and a sustainable lifestyle choice.
After more than three decades in the industry, Stevens continues to represent the best of German engineering and cycling passion. Its bikes are trusted by professionals, commuters, and enthusiasts alike for their performance, reliability, and understated design. Whether racing, training, or simply enjoying the freedom of two wheels, Stevens bicycles deliver a perfect harmony of technology and craftsmanship. True to its origins, the brand continues to prove that precision and passion — made in Hamburg — can create the ultimate riding experience.
