IN BRIEF
Stevens unveiled the new generation of its Izoard on 6 August 2026, a road bike that borrows its front end from the aero Arcalis and its rear end from the endurance Xenith. The carbon frame is claimed at 1,090 g, the fork at 450 g, and the frameset is listed at €1,899. Four complete models make up the range, from €2,399 with a mechanical Shimano 105 to €4,599 in SRAM Force AXS, the latter claimed at 7.9 kg. The frame takes tyres up to 32 mm, uses a round 27.2 mm seatpost and the UDH derailleur hanger, and Stevens states that its tube shapes, dimensions and construction details comply with UCI regulations. Orders are open, with availability in shops expected in autumn 2026.

There are aero bikes that sacrifice everything to speed, endurance bikes that sacrifice speed to comfort, and then there is the grey area where most cyclists actually ride. That is where Stevens is planting its new Izoard, unveiled on 6 August 2026: a carbon frame claimed at 1,090 g that takes its front end from the brand’s own aero bike and its rear end from the brand’s own endurance bike.
A 1,090 g road frame, half Arcalis, half Xenith
The recipe is spelled out. According to Rennrad-News, the front end of the new Izoard draws on the Arcalis, the brand’s aero bike — profiled fork — while the rear triangle borrows from the Xenith, its endurance model, to preserve comfort over distance. The carbon frame is claimed at 1,090 g, the full carbon fork at 450 g.
The rest of the spec sheet describes a bike built to last rather than to shine on a single ride: a round 27.2 mm seatpost rather than a proprietary profile, a Pressfit BB86 bottom bracket, a UDH standard derailleur hanger, and tyre clearance up to 32 mm according to Bikerumor. Six sizes are offered, from 48 to 61 cm. Bikerumor also reports that the frame is approved for UCI competition. Stevens finally announces an integrated frame bag, developed with VAUDE and held by a FIDLOCK attachment, supplied as standard on every model.
Four models, from €2,399 to €4,599
The range starts at €2,399 with the Izoard in a mechanical 2×12 Shimano 105 groupset and DT Swiss AR LN Classic wheels, for a claimed 9.0 kg. The Izoard 105 Di2 moves to electronic shifting for €2,999 and 8.6 kg. Above it, the Izoard ULT combines Ultegra Di2 with Leeze CC 45 Basic AR carbon wheels at €3,999 for a claimed 8.0 kg, and the Izoard Force tops the range at €4,599 with a SRAM Force AXS E1 2×12 groupset, Vision SC45 i23 wheels and 7.9 kg on the manufacturer’s scales. The official spec sheet lists the same stock tyre on all four models: Continental Grand Prix TR 30-622.
For those who would rather build their own bike, the frameset is listed at €1,899, in Mystic Violet, Phantom White, True Black or Solar Orange. That may be where the Izoard makes the most sense: at that price, a UCI approved 1,090 g carbon frame with a round seatpost leaves plenty of latitude for the build.
Stevens Izoard availability
According to Bikerumor, orders are open and availability in shops is expected in autumn 2026. Stevens adds that the Izoard is also offered as a custom bike through its Custom configurator, from 10 August 2026 according to Rennrad-News. As of 6 August 2026, the official product page lists these weights without stating the reference frame size: a point to confirm with the dealer before ordering.
