How it compares
With 140 mm of fork travel, the Stevens E-Maverick AM is on the shorter side; the median of the 101 comparable bikes in the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category is 150 mm. Travel is the same front and rear at 140 mm each. Within Stevens’s e-mountain bikes, it sits between the Stevens E-Agnello and the Stevens E-Inception AM on travel. Stevens builds the frame from carbon.
With a starting price of €6,499 (7.4.3), the Stevens E-Maverick AM is above the category median (€5,500). For the 9.4.3 build, Stevens asks €9,499. Depending on the build, fork and shock come from FOX and RockShox. In total, 2 different forks are used, from the RockShox Pike Select+ to the Fox 36 Float SL Factory. It is powered by TQ HPR60.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox Pike Select+): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- Rebound: turn the red FOX and RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Shock (RockShox Deluxe Select+): get on the bike in your normal riding position, step off carefully and read the O-ring. Always cycle the shock a few times after pumping.
- e-MTB: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.
Target SAG for the Stevens E-Maverick AM
SAG is the share of travel your weight already uses in the riding position. The table gives it straight in millimetres – read the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from Stevens take priority.
140 mm fork, 57.5 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 24 mm | 24 % = 13.8 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 28 mm | 28 % = 16.1 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 31 mm | 30 % = 17.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 28 mm | 27 % = 15.5 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.60″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. If you run tubes, add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi); with an insert, about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less is enough.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.40 bar (20 psi) | 1.60 bar (23 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.52 bar (22 psi) | 1.72 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.64 bar (24 psi) | 1.84 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.76 bar (26 psi) | 1.96 bar (28 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.88 bar (27 psi) | 2.08 bar (30 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.00 bar (29 psi) | 2.20 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.12 bar (31 psi) | 2.32 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
