E-Maverick AM 2026

The 2026 Stevens E-Maverick AM is the all-mountain branch of Stevens' light-assist e-MTB line, built on a full-carbon SL HMF frame (claimed 2,600 g) with 140 mm of travel front and rear on 29in wheels. For 2026 the headline change is the motor: the previous TQ HPR50 gives way to the new TQ HPR60, which lifts torque to 60 Nm while keeping the same compact, near-silent Harmonic Pin Ring drive and the small 360 Wh internal battery (expandable with a 160 Wh range extender). It now pairs with TQ's new colour display set into the top tube.

Two builds are offered. The AM 7.4.3 at EUR 6,499 is the sensible workhorse: RockShox Pike Select+ and Deluxe Select+ suspension, a mechanical Shimano Deore XT 1x12 drivetrain, Shimano four-piston brakes and DT Swiss HX 1700 alloy wheels, with a claimed 18.2 kg. The AM 9.4.3 at EUR 9,499 is a clear step up rather than a trim tweak: Fox Factory 36 SL fork and Float DPS Factory shock, wireless SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission, Shimano XTR brakes, carbon DT Swiss HXC 1501 wheels, a BikeYoke Revive dropper and a steerer-integrated multi-tool, dropping claimed weight to 16.8 kg.

Geometry is shared across both builds and sized by reach (R1 to R5) rather than seat-tube length, so riders can size up or down for stability or playfulness. It reads as a measured trail bike rather than an aggressive enduro rig: a 65.4 to 65.9 degree head angle, roughly 77 degree effective seat angle, 440 to 444 mm chainstays and reaches from 439 mm (R1) to 527 mm (R5). The very light overall weight for an e-MTB, low-torque assistance and modest 360 Wh battery position this as a naturalistic, ride-feel-led machine for shorter, punchier days rather than a high-power all-day mile-muncher.
