Pinion stands for high-end central gearing made in Germany. We equip all our Wilhelm-models with this special gearing system. With Pinion P-Line you can choose between 9, 12 or 18 gears and each one can be shifted one by one or continuously while standing still or during your ride. With a ratio of up to 636% you will find the right setting for every situation. With Pinion, every gear conveys the immediacy of a single speed transmission. The bike is perfectly balanced due to the central position of the gearbox inside the frame.

Sail down the street enjoying only the gentle rustling of leaves, birds singing in the trees and the sound of the road below with the smooth, quiet belt drive system you find on all Schindelhauer bikes.  The revolutionary Carbon Drive Technology by Gates offers top technological advantages, such as low noise and zero maintenance, making it an irresistible alternative to the conventional chain. It is also the only drive system that is completely lubricant and maintenance-free. Enjoy the freedom of riding your bike without a chainguard or ever having to roll up your trousers again.  The belt features a polyurethane exterior that is weather resistant and boasts strong, stretch-free carbon fibres. Even in rigorous testing, the belt doesn’t stretch even the tiniest bit because of the high-strength carbon fibre, meaning drive components need to be replaced much less often than with standard chains. The belt also lasts approximately 3-4 times longer than a chain. For long-lasting use, all rear sprockets are exclusively manufactured from hardened steel. Furthermore, patented MudPorts keep your bike free from debris and keep the state-of-the-art belt drive system working in perfect condition.  At Schindelhauer, we’ve developed and patented the crocodile-belt-tensioning-system for belt tension. We always focus on form as much as on function, so all frames are equipped with patented Schindelhauer Belt Port Technology. All technical components are fully integrated into the design of the bike and without affecting the stiffness of the rear triangle. The belt is as strong as a chain, so it fulfils or even exceeds the criteria for the EN 14766 standard. What’s more, the lightweight sprockets make CenterTrack the lightest belt drive system ever.

When fitting a drive belt on a bike, you need an ultra-strong frame and stiff rear triangle. Parts and components made from aluminium are both strong and lightweight, making it the ideal material to use when designing stiff bikes. For this reason, at Schindelhauer Bikes we manufacture all our frames with high-quality 6061 aluminium. For maximum stiffness, each frame is T6 heat treated and for the perfect balance between lightweight design and durability, we use triple-butted aero tubing. What’s more, after we weld the tubes using the TIG welding process, we polish every single joint weld. Known as ‘smooth-welding’, polishing joint welds not only looks clean and neat, but also alleviates stress concentration and improves the fatigue strength of the frame, making cycling even more of a joy. As well as offering top performance and comfort, Schindelhauer loves beautiful, minimal designs, so you’ll always find the headset and seat clamp integrated into the frame design. The forged dropout connects the crocodile-belt-tensioning-system and our in-house developed SBP (Schindelhauer Belt Port). The bike frame is now ready to be fitted with the Gates Drive Belt. We guarantee every frame for five years.

Our slider dropouts make changing a tube child’s play. Two sliders attach the rear wheel and can be moved backwards and forwards to tension the belt. After changing the tube and mounting the wheel, the belt automatically returns to its original tension setting. In line with the Schindelhauer minimalist design principle, all the technology and clamping bolts are concealed beneath a clean-looking plate made of aluminium. Two small adjusting screws integrated into the design offer a user-friendly way to adjust belt tension and align the rear wheel.

We like the idea of a belt drive that blends in with the rear triangle - with our patented Schindelhauer Belt Port (SBP) system, the opening is practically invisible. Changing your drive belt is easy. Wave-like in form, the interlocking connector forms a firm connection between the seatstay and chainstay. Plus, just like a jigsaw piece, it can easily be removed and reinstalled. Normally couplings or bolt connections would be visible around the seatstay area, but with Schindelhauer bikes a bolt connects the SBP to the stiff structure once again as if an opening never existed. We are very proud of the clean, minimalist design of our bikes.

Loved by bike enthusiasts from all over the world for decades, you won’t find a classier saddle range than that made by the British company Brooks. The saddle needs a little time to break in but will last you a lifetime; even if you take it to the ends of the earth and back. The Brooks B15 Swallow Chrome is the company’s exclusive sports saddle. Thanks to the clamp installed beneath the seat, this sleek saddle will keep its shape well into the future.

Our ergonomic handlebar grips give you direct feedback from your bike, relieve tension and make every single ride a pure delight. The large contact area means pressure is evenly distributed for comfortable hands, wrists and forearms. Clamping rings at bar ends secure grips to the handlebars and prevent twisting. Form meets function with a leather exterior that matches the colour of the saddle and offers the utmost comfort.

Pedal around in style – we sent ourselves on a mission to find the perfect pedal and ended up developing our own: the Urban Pedal. The flat pedal is slip proof to ensure ideal power transmission at all times. Built to be a top-notch performer, the light, CNC-machined pedal is equipped with a CrMo Axle, sealed bearings and IGUS plain bearings. You can opt to fit it with our pedal clips or pedal straps.

Designed for tough downhill rides, the 4-piston brake Cleg 4 is the ideal system for when you need to stop our premium model Wilhelm. It does everything right: boasts an innovative flow system, features reach adjustment to adapt to the preferences of a demanding rider and comes with a high pressure resistant Goodridge steel hose. All components on this gem of a brake are CNC machined in Freiburg, so they have the “Made in Germany” quality seal of approval.

All Schindelhauer bikes strive for a pared-back look, even when it comes to the headset. We’ve fully integrated the Tange cartridge bearing, so it accentuates the head tube. Seamless joints around the bicycle fork and stem area lend a flawless finish, creating the impression that the bike is cast from one piece of metal. What’s more, this also protects the bearings from dust and debris.
