The Marzocchi Bomber Z2 with 120 mm of air travel, Rail damping and lockout smooths out roots and stones and can be locked for fast passages. The Bosch G5 Performance Line CX provides the power, its 85 Nm of torque and the generous 800 Wh PowerTube battery making even long climbs feel easy; the smart Purion 400 display offers four riding modes plus walk assist. A 12-speed derailleur setup with a Shimano Deore XT Shadow+ rear derailleur and a Deore cassette (10–51 teeth) handles shifting, its fine gearing covering every gradient and pace cleanly. Tektro HD-M535 four-piston disc brakes on 203 mm front and 180 mm rear rotors keep steep descents firmly under control. The wide Schwalbe Smart Sam Performance tyres in 2.6" (65-622) blend grip with easy rolling on firm ground, while the dropper Oxygen E-Scorpo DPR-E post with remote creates instant freedom on the trail. The interplay of a strong mid-drive motor, the wide 12-speed range, an air-sprung fork and powerful brakes makes climbing relaxed and descending safe. A permissible total weight of 140 kg and the large battery also open the door to bikepacking trips and multi-day tours with luggage, without losing composure.
The leading "E" points to the electric pedal assistance and clearly places the bike in the pedelec world. "AGNELLO" is borrowed from Italian and means "lamb" – a melodic image of agility, lightness and a love of climbing that underlines the lively, sporty character of this bike. The sequence "8.8.1" positions the model within the line: the leading 8 stands for the higher performance and equipment class, the second 8 refines the component level, and the closing 1 marks the specific variant. Together they form a name that bundles drive type, character and place in the family into a single memorable term.
Compared with the more sparingly equipped E-AGNELLO variants, the 8.8.1 places its emphasis on range, suspension comfort and shifting precision. It pairs the Bosch G5 Performance Line CX with the large 800 Wh battery, an air-sprung Marzocchi Bomber Z2, a 12-speed drivetrain built around a Deore XT rear derailleur and a Deore cassette, plus powerful four-piston disc brakes. Where simpler versions rely on entry-level drives, smaller energy stores or more compact gear ranges, the 8.8.1 brings together exactly the components that make long tours, steep climbs and technical descents equally effortless – making it the most generously motorised yet sportiest expression of the line.
Stevens E-AGNELLO 8.8.1 feels at home on sporty tours, forest and field tracks and in everyday riding on rough asphalt, and it plays to its strengths wherever the road climbs and the surface turns demanding. Compared with the comfort-oriented, touring and city-focused e-bikes from the same maker such as E-LIVENZA or E-TRITON, this line puts a stronger focus on trail capability, suspension travel and grippy wide tyres, while its broad 12-speed range and large battery also make long distances and relaxed travel possible. As a classic hardtail, E-AGNELLO 8.8.1 is available in different frame forms within the line, so riders can find the right seating position for almost any style – from ambitiously sporty to comfortably upright.
