The sporty Caleta 9.1 trekking bike impresses with its high-quality features and elegant aluminium frame in Metal Grey. Whether commuting or touring, it offers maximum riding pleasure and reliability. The Shimano CUES 2x11 gear system is extremely precise, while the luggage rack and bright LED lights ensure comfort and safety.
In addition, the Swiss HG 1800 Spline wheels with Schwalbe G-One Overland Performance tyres offer excellent rolling characteristics with low weight, and the Shimano SM-RT64 disc brakes are very finely adjustable. Mobile 365 days a year – freedom in everyday traffic.
Stevens Caleta 9.1 LT brings the high-grade top equipment of the Caleta series into a comfortable trapezoid frame with a low step-through. The dynamic Aluminium 6061 frame works with the high-grade Shimano CUES U8000 group: the 2x11 drivetrain with the Hollowtech II FC-U8000-2 crankset (46-32 teeth), the Shadow+ RD-U8020-SGS rear derailleur and the CS-LG700-11 cassette (11-45 teeth) delivers 22 gears with a wide range and particularly precise, low-maintenance shifting in any terrain. Braking is handled by the hydraulic Shimano CUES U8000 BR-U8000 disc brakes with 180 mm rotors, which bite powerfully and modulate finely. First-class visibility comes from the refined Supernova LED system with the E3 Pure 3 headlight (205 lumens including daytime running light) and the TL 3 Mini taillight with standlight function. The stiff DT Swiss HG 1800 Spline wheels, the Racktime carrier with SNAP-IT-2.0, Kid'n'Carry and QL3.1 system, Curana Apollo mudguards, a kickstand and a bell are part of the extensive FEQ equipment. The 45 mm wide, tubeless-ready Schwalbe G-One Overland tyres and a permitted total weight of 140 kg make Caleta 9.1 LT a high-performance yet comfortable companion for the commute, weekend trips and multi-day tours.
Caleta is the Spanish word for a small bay and refers to the coastal village of Caleta de Famara on Lanzarote, where Stevens tests its models in depth. The digit 9 places the bike in the top class of the Caleta family, and the 1 marks the first version of that tier with a classic chain drivetrain. LT stands for “Low Tube” and denotes the trapezoid frame with a sloping top tube for a comfortable low step-through. Metal Grey, finally, names the elegant grey finish.
Caleta 9.1 LT is the sportiest model with a derailleur drivetrain and at the same time features a low step-through, crowning the drive line-up of 6.1, 7.1, 8.1 and 9.1. With the CUES U8000 group, the Shadow+ rear derailleur and the high-grade CS-LG700 cassette it stands above the 8.1 (CUES U6000), the 7.1 (CUES U6000 with ten speeds) and the entry-level 6.1 (CUES U4000). In the brakes, too, the 9.1 sets more exclusive accents than its more affordable siblings with the CUES U8000 BR-U8000 disc brakes, the DT Swiss HG 1800 wheels and the 205-lumen Supernova lighting. From the belt-driven models 5.2 and 7.2 and from the Pinion flagship 9.2 it differs through the classic chain, which is easy to maintain and can be tuned individually. The trapezoid frame of the LT version with its low step-through is ideal for comfortable mounting and dismounting; anyone who prefers a sportier posture with a high top tube will find the same equipment in the HT version.
Caleta 9.1 LT is a first-class equipped, sporty trekking bike for riders who value high-quality components, reliable performance and a comfortable low step-through – on the commute, on a weekend trip and on a multi-day tour. The upright yet sporty geometry and the lightweight aluminium frame convey a pleasant seating position, while the wide Schwalbe tyres and the DT Swiss wheels provide smooth running and stability. The finely stepped 22-speed drivetrain offers enough range for flat city riding as well as for climbs with luggage. Thanks to the complete FEQ equipment with powerful lighting, carrier, mudguards and kickstand, the bike is ready for everyday use straight away, and the permitted total weight of 140 kg allows for a child seat or panniers. Within the Stevens range it sets itself apart from the sporty Camino series, which comes without fixed lighting and carrier, as well as from the Tour series (Aviolo, 6X Lite Tour) and the Urban series (Amant, Kalea, Strada). Riders looking for lower-maintenance drivetrains with belt and hub turn to the 5.2 or 7.2; those who want the Pinion gearbox with even more gears turn to the 9.2.
