Elegant, reduced, tidy – in alu pur, the WILHELM IX C-LINE shows the purist face of the Berlin manufactory. The silvery shimmering aluminium frame with aero-shape tubing and smooth welds looks restrained and technical, in the spirit of the city custom bicycle series that stands for pure riding fun. In the bottom bracket area, the Pinion C-Line works with nine gears – a central gearbox that ranks among the smallest and at the same time most powerful of its kind and is tuned perfectly for urban use. Pinion is not without reason regarded as the top class among bicycle transmissions.

Thanks to the central gearbox position, the bicycle is optimally balanced; each of the nine evenly spaced gears conveys the directness of a singlespeed gear ratio. The 364 per cent total gear range takes you over almost any hill. A low bottom bracket and long head and top tubes result in a sporty, yet tour-ready seating position; all cables are routed internally to preserve the purist design. The Gates carbon belt drives the fine-toothed rear hub; deceleration is handled by the hydraulic Shimano Alfine S7000 disc brake. The comfortable Brooks B17 saddle and the ergonomic Schindelhauer leather grips are part of the high-quality concept, as are the optionally mountable mudguards and front and rear racks. The permissible total weight is 120 kilogrammes.

What the building blocks WILHELM, IX and C-LINE stand for

WILHELM is the custom bicycle system from Schindelhauer, built entirely according to your wishes. IX stands in Roman numerals for the nine and marks the 9 gears of this model. C-LINE refers to the gearbox family from Pinion, whose particularly compact and powerful central gearboxes were developed specifically for the city. The name suffix alu pur describes the silvery, raw metal colour that makes the bicycle look simple and noble at the same time.

How the C-Line rides and shifts in everyday life

The C-Line gearboxes are the smallest and at the same time most powerful central gearboxes of all – and tuned exactly for city traffic. With IX (9 gears) you find the compact entry level of the Wilhelm family, while XII (12 gears) and XVIII (18 gears) in the P-LINE offer even more range. All variants share the Pinion principle: the gears can be shifted reliably even while stationary, and the directness of every single gear is reminiscent of a singlespeed. Anyone looking for a tidy, agile city custom bicycle with the legendary Pinion technology is well advised to choose the WILHELM IX C-LINE.

The ideal companion for the city and beyond

The WILHELM IX C-LINE is the choice for everyone who commutes through the city every day and values purist design, reliable technology and a pure riding feel. Thanks to the 364 per cent total gear range, the bicycle masters not only quick starts at traffic lights, but also the steeper climbs at the edge of the city. Since the bicycles of the Berlin manufactory are produced in small quantities, delivery takes a little longer than usual – anyone who decides on a model today is therefore planning wisely. A test ride is worth it: come by and experience why a Wilhelm rides especially well.
