At home on international podiums

Hektor’s frame is built on a triple-butted aero tubeset and is particularly appreciated by Team Schindelhauer Gates for its high stiffness and good handling. Accordingly, riders with Hektor can frequently be found on the winners' podiums of international races (e.g. Rad Race Last Woman Standing, German Fixed Crit Series and Montecatini Terme - Italian Fixed Cup as well as many other top 10 placings, e.g. at the Red Hook Crit Brooklyn).

Ready for the urban jungle

The latest generation of Hektor is available in two variants and as a complete bike: either as a classic fixed setup, or alternatively with an everyday-friendly brake system and freewheel. The very inconspicuous integration of the internal cable routing does not disturb the critical eye of purists. You are welcome to tell us your individual wishes for the components.

Exceptional riding characteristics

First presented in 2014 at the Berliner Fahrradschau, Hektor is characterised by an aggressive geometry, a typical track-bike width and the taller bottom bracket for maximum lean in corners (Crit-Lean). You feel the frame's extraordinary stiffness with every crank revolution of the perfectly tuned belt drive.

Made of high-quality 6061 aluminium, the new frame is based on a triple-butted aero tube set. Weld seams are refined through elaborate smoothing.

The belt drive needs to be kept under tension, a job performed by our patented crocodile-belt-tensioning-system. With a simple turn of the spanner washer, the axis is freely adjustable and the belt can be prestressed.
