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. The belt also lasts approximately 3-4 times longer than a chain. 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.

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.

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.

Loved by bike connoisseurs over the world for many years now, you won’t find a classier saddle range than that made by the British company Brooks. The saddle takes a little time to break in but you can count on it for a lifetime of cycling; even if you take it to the ends of the world and back. The B17S ladies saddle is regarded as the perfect touring saddle. With its refined design and classic chrome it’s a perfect match.

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.

The Shimano Alfine comes in either 8-speed or 11-speed versions. With a total gear range of about 307% (8-speed version) or 409% (11-speed), it’s the perfect companion for long bike rides involving hills and tailwinds. Cyclists with a penchant for racing tend to opt for the 11-speed because of the extra gear range and oil bath lubrication. Being low maintenance and ultraquiet due to the pawl-free design, combining either version with our quiet belt drive gives you a match made in heaven. Gears are easily and precisely engaged with the rapidfire shifter.

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.

As lightweight dual-pivot road bike brakes with a side-pull, Tektro brakes are the perfect match for the classic design of our bikes. The brakes feature forged-aluminium arms and adjustable pads for optimal stopping power in wet as well as dry conditions. Disassembling your wheels is easy thanks to the quick release.

The Shimano Alfine crankset is the perfect partner for the drive belt system. The hollow axle and external bearings work together to achieve the essential stiffness that the belt demands, while a fixed clamp collar gives a precise belt line to ensure a highly durable belt. In the looks department, the distinctive-looking crankset lends the bike a little extra character.

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.

The Continental Contact II tyre is puncture-proof and comes with a one year safety-system warranty, so it’s ideal for daily use. The sporty profile is designed to stay free from debris and the unique structure of the lugs and sipes guarantee grip on bends. What’s more, the reflective sidewall strip makes the need for spoke reflectors a thing of the past.
