Stevens E-Inception AM 7.6.1 GTF Review

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX shows. With torque under the motor cover, the support is generous. Nobody needs to fear steep hills anymore. Furthermore, the power of the motor control is regulated so that the start always feels dynamic,. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the E-Inception AM 7.6.1 GTF with only an average range.

On rough descents, the moderate chassis limits you and demands a more precise line choice than bikes with better chassis. Especially for heavy riders, the Stevens brakes could be a problem. With four pistons they only decelerate averagely. The components and the shifting seem less important for Stevens. The components used here have a clear potential for improvement after a view at the competitors. When it comes to the geometry, Stevens does not go completely crazy. The head tube angle and reach values were chosen with care. The result: A balanced riding behaviour with a good combination of playfulness and straight-line stability. The low bottom bracket height is a party pooper for the handling on the trail. On other bikes, you are more centrally located behind the handlebar. Short chainstays and and a slack seat angle make the front end light in steep climbs. To keep the front wheel on the ground, you need to consciously lean forward. Oh boy, with the geometry you have to be ready to make compromises from our perspective. The most important measurements and angles fall slightly out of the grid of good bikes. The view of the weight of 25,9 kg reveals: There are lighter All Mountains.
