Stevens 2026 AMANT 7.2 HT / Basalt Grey S / Basalt Grey

Stevens Amant 7.2 HT: a stylish aluminium city bike with 11-speed Alfine hub gears and a low-maintenance Gates belt drive for everyday urban riding

Stevens Amant 7.2 HT combines a lightweight aluminium 6061 frame in the classic diamond shape with a component selection tailored precisely to daily city use. At the heart of the drivetrain sits the mechanical Shimano Alfine SG-S7001-11 hub gear with eleven speeds and a 409 percent gear range, delivering finely graduated gears, smooth shifts and shifting that works independently of pedalling. Together with the Gates CDN Carbon Drive belt system (Center Track, 50 teeth at the front, 24 teeth at the rear), this creates a quiet, efficient and corrosion-resistant drivetrain that offers reliability and minimal maintenance for commuters and everyday riders. Internal cable routing, adjustable dropouts and the bolted seatstay on the drive side are purpose-built to match the belt technology.

The package is rounded off by hydraulic Tektro Volans disc brakes with 180 mm rotors and a 4-piston caliper at the front for confident stopping power in any traffic situation. The puncture-resistant, 55 mm wide Continental Contact Urban tyres roll easily and comfortably over asphalt as well as cobblestones. Everything needed for daily life is already on board: the Shutter Precision PL-6 hub dynamo powers the Supernova E3 Pure 3 front light with 205 lumens plus daytime running light and the Supernova TL 3 Mini rear light. A Racktime front carrier and a Racktime STV RC 05 rear rack with the SNAP IT 2.0 system open up a wide range of transport and bikepacking options – from the weekly shop to multi-day tours. Curana Orbit 70 mudguards, a STEVENS Edge kickstand and the STEVENS D85 bell complete a harmonious overall package in which lightness, durability and urban style work together.

The origin of the name: Amant, 7.2 and HT decoded

Amant comes from French and means “lover” or “beloved” – an emotional product name that expresses a love of cycling and of moving on two wheels. The number sequence 7.2 marks the higher equipment tier within the Amant range and stands specifically for the mechanical Shimano Alfine hub gear with eleven speeds. The suffix HT, finally, stands for “High Tube” and denotes the classic diamond frame shape with a continuously high top tube.

Amant 7.2 HT within the range: finer gearing and a premium drivetrain

The Amant series is divided into two equipment lines: Amant 5.2 with Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub gears and Amant 7.2 with the eleven-speed Shimano Alfine hub. Within this series, Amant 7.2 HT stands out through its higher number of gears and the resulting 409 percent gear range, as well as through the more premium Gates S301 CDC crankset, which together with the CDN belt delivers particularly fine gear steps and smooth power transfer. Within the 7.2 models, three frame shapes are available: HT as a classic diamond frame with a sporty character, LT with a low step-through for easy mounting and dismounting, and Forma as a comfort-oriented variant – all three featuring the same high-quality technology.

Intended use: a fully equipped city bike with touring qualities

Stevens Amant 7.2 HT is designed as a comprehensively equipped city and urban bike for the daily commute, for errands and for extended after-work rides through the city. The combination of 11-speed Alfine hub gears, belt drive and wide, puncture-resistant tyres makes it a reliable companion on asphalt, cycle paths and fine gravel. With its two Racktime carriers including the SNAP IT 2.0 system, it grows into a cargo-strong touring bike for shopping and bikepacking adventures whenever needed. Riders who prefer the classic diamond frame with an upright, sporty seating position choose the HT variant, while its sibling lines LT and Forma offer the same high-quality technology in a more comfortable, low step-through shape. Alongside the sportier Strada fitness bikes and the trekking-oriented Caleta models, Amant 7.2 HT positions itself as a stylish, low-maintenance city companion with full everyday practicality.
