Product news: Bicycle manufacturer Stevens is further enhancing its E-Inception series with completely redesigned e-mountain bike models. The further development of the E-Inception affects not only the looks, but also the geometry and characteristics. The 2026 model year includes a total of three new bikes: two all-mountain models and one enduro bike.
The Stevens E-Inception series launches into 2026 with three new models. The clearly recognizable evolution of the E-Inception is visually evident in its straight top tube, crisp edges, and smoother lines. Combined with the slimmer down tube, the straight seat tube, and refined transitions, this creates a modern and harmonious look. The steeper seat tube, the 5 mm shorter rear triangle with a 27,5-inch rear wheel, the 0,5-degree slacker head angle, and the longer reach are designed to ensure sporty handling on any terrain. According to Stevens, the revised kinematics offer better utilization of the mid-stroke travel and a more comfortable ride with less pedal kickback.
The weight has also been significantly improved: a weight saving of more than 500 grams compared to the previous E-Inception carbon frame is quite impressive. The 2026 model year includes three new bikes: two all-mountain models and one enduro bike. The all-mountain models offer 160/150 mm of travel, while the enduro comes with 170/160 mm. All models feature the Bosch Performance Line CX (BDU384) with a PowerTube 800 battery, which is removable in all frame sizes. The bikes are available in five frame sizes with new designations R1 to R5. Prices for the bikes with Carbon SL Fiber frames range from €6.499,00 to €7.899,00.
