Courier
Origin
The Courier is Stevens' answer to the question every Hamburg resident faces: what do you actually ride to work every day for years on end? The aluminium 6061 TB frame supports a Shimano Nexus 8-speed internal hub — reliable, sealed against weather, and largely maintenance-free. Hub dynamo lighting from B+M ensures the rider is always visible without ever charging batteries. The Courier Luxe adds a Gates Carbon belt drive, eliminating the chain entirely for the most low-maintenance possible urban drivetrain. Stevens has built City bikes in Hamburg since its founding, and the Courier reflects decades of daily-rider feedback.
