Update: the bikes are all sold out. Starting Allure Bike Rental a few years ago meant searching for a great carbon road bike. We were very happy to find it in the German brand Stevens, and even better, we found a Spanish supplier.
Quality road bike
The choice for the Ventoux Disc Ultegra, with and without Di2, turned out to be a very good one. We chose Shimano Ultegra with an 11/32 cassette and a 50/34 compact crank, a road bike suitable for both flat riding and mountain riding. Not all customers knew the brand, but they were very enthusiastic about the stiffness and the build of the bike. Already in our second year we sold a number of bikes to customers.
Looking for another brand
The rental business was going so well that we wanted to expand, but our Spanish supplier had gone bankrupt and ordering directly in Hamburg proved less smooth than hoped. A new era began. We looked for a bike that would meet all wishes at least as well as the Ventoux, and luckily we found the Jan Janssen Sonic. It was exciting to rent out this new bike to regular customers for the first time. Would they rate the Sonic as highly as the Ventoux? The answer was a resounding yes.
Farewell to the Stevens Ventoux
After years of loyal service in the rental business we said goodbye to our Stevens Ventoux, and the last bikes went for a very affordable price. Customers who are interested in a Jan Janssen Sonic can register with us.
