>>1726749>>1726751does anyone have knowledge about these "use classes" some american standart most German company's use.
the Stevens is class 4, MTB are rated class5.
company's like Cube or Ghost only rate their bike class 2 which is more a normal road bike.
its frame strength and possible terain, class 5 is mtb tracks class 2 is tires never lift of the ground.
makes me think this frame is somewhat stronger as some "gravel" roads have rather large stones here that shake you quite a bit on a hard tail. i don't want to spend 1,5k and fuck up the frame i plan to use this bike at least for the next 15years.
