The Schindelhauer Gustav impresses with its lightweight aluminium frame, practical front luggage rack and low-maintenance belt drive combined with reliable Shimano 8-speed gears. A stylish, versatile city bike for everyday use, commuting and touring with disc brakes and full equipment.
By mounting the front rack on the frame, the bike remains agile even when heavily loaded. An integral part of the rack design are the innovative VarioStraps, which can be individually adjusted to the size and shape of the load.
Practical, functional, yet minimalist in appearance—Gustav is an all-rounder on the road, offering comfort and a functional range of features for everyday commuting. Whether for the journey to work, shopping, as a family bike, or for longer tours—Gustav is equipped for many uses with its 8-speed gear system.
Awarded by renowned design experts and decision-makers from the bicycle industry, Gustav stands for the well-thought-out concept of a functional, aesthetically sophisticated everyday bike. Thanks to its relaxed frame geometry and seating position, as well as comfortable tires, short distances in the city are just as easy to cover as extended tours. Another highlight is the frame-mounted front rack with VarioStrap system, which holds the load securely in place.
