Every WILHELM VI C-LINE is individually configured for its owner – a bicycle that comes into being according to personal ideas. The cream-white lacquer gives the city slicker a warm, bright face that stands out beautifully against dark asphalt. The frame of aluminium AL6061-T6 with aerodynamically shaped, triple-butted tubes creates an elegant impression with its slim profile, while the smooth-welded seams, internal cable routing and integrated seat clamp keep the design uncluttered. The heart is the Pinion C-Line gear unit with six gears: it belongs to the most compact and at the same time most powerful family of central gearboxes and can even be shifted up and down while stationary, so the right gear is never missing at traffic lights again.

The Gates Carbon belt transfers the pedalling force to the rear wheel and, thanks to the Belt Port, can be quickly replaced if necessary. Deceleration is handled by the hydraulic Shimano Alfine disc brake with 160-millimetre rotors, which controls speed with fine modulation. The Continental GP Urban tyres at 35 millimetres wide cushion unevenness elegantly and offer reliable grip in all situations. The classic Brooks B17 saddle and the ergonomic leather grips underline the noble character. Mudguards can be attached just as easily as a front or rear rack, and optional lighting extends the usefulness well into the dark. Thanks to the permissible total weight of 120 kilogrammes, there is still room for carefree riding even with luggage, while the low bottom bracket together with the longer frame tubes creates a relaxed, tour-ready seating geometry.

What lies in the name WILHELM VI C-LINE and sahneweiß

The name is composed of several word elements that describe the character of the bicycle. WILHELM stands as a distinctive first name for the personal claim of the custom series, in which every bicycle is assembled individually. VI is the Roman spelling of the number six and refers to the six gears of the gear unit. C-LINE also names the gearbox family from Pinion, which is regarded as the smallest and at the same time most powerful form of central gearbox. Finally, sahneweiß describes the fine, light colour in which the frame is lacquered and which gives the bicycle a stylish lightness.

How WILHELM VI C-LINE differs from the other Wilhelm models

WILHELM VI C-LINE is one of the accessible entry versions of the Wilhelm series, equipped with the compact C-Line gearbox. While the twelve-gear sister models as well as the Rohloff and P-Line versions score with more shift steps, the six-gear model impresses with its particular simplicity and low maintenance – for the city and countless everyday routes the range is completely sufficient and easy to use. The cream-white lacquer also visibly sets the model apart from the alu pur versions and forms the elegant setting for the high-quality Brooks leather equipment of the C-Line. This creates a coherent appearance that combines discretion, comfort and urban confidence in a single bicycle.

What WILHELM VI C-LINE is made for

WILHELM VI C-LINE is the ideal companion for everyone who wants to get around town quickly, smoothly and stylishly – on the way to work, to the shops or on an evening outing. Shifting while stationary masters every traffic light crossing with aplomb, while the belt drive reliably keeps trousers and clothing clean. The sporty yet tour-ready seating position is just as enjoyable on long rides as on the daily commuter trip, and with rack, mudguards and optional light the bicycle can easily be adapted to individual needs. Those who prefer a step-through will find suitable alternatives from the brand – with WILHELM VI C-LINE in shimmering cream-white, the diamond-frame version shows instead how urban riding pleasure and timeless elegance come together effortlessly.
