Aero-shaped tubes, smooth-welded seams and an integrated seat clamp give the construction a calm, premium feel, while internally routed cables preserve the clean silhouette. At the rear, the renowned Rohloff Speedhub operates as a sealed hub gearbox with fourteen gears and a total ratio range of 526 per cent. The steps can be shifted individually or in jumps via two precise shift cables, and the hermetically sealed design promises a long service life even under harsh conditions. The sturdy Gates Carbon belt transfers power straight to the drivetrain, with the patented Belt Port allowing hassle-free replacement.
Hydraulic Formula R1 disc brakes with 160-millimetre rotors stop WILHELM XIV ROHLOFF reliably and with excellent modulation. The 35-millimetre-wide Continental GP Urban tyres absorb bumps noticeably while rolling efficiently on asphalt. The noble Brooks B17 saddle and ergonomic leather grips round off the classically refined appearance. For extended outings, mudguards, front and rear racks and a kickstand can be mounted, and optional lighting, for instance via the LightSKIN seat post, ensures safe visibility at night. A five-year warranty period on the frame underlines the promise of robustness and trust.
Every element of the model name carries its own meaning. WILHELM is a traditional German first name that lends a personal touch to the individually crafted custom line. XIV stands for the number fourteen in Roman numerals and points to the gear count of the built-in hub. ROHLOFF names the gear system, precisely the Rohloff Speedhub, whose sealed mechanism is renowned for durability. Mitternachtsblau finally describes the deep, almost nocturnal blue tone of the paintwork, granting the bike a mysterious elegance.
Within the Wilhelm range, WILHELM XIV ROHLOFF relies on an independent drivetrain concept. While the sibling models build on Pinion's C-Line and P-Line gear technology, this version trusts the precision-made Rohloff Speedhub in the rear wheel. All gear technology therefore moves into the hub and gathers close to the finely toothed wheel build, while power is routed through a Shimano Alfine Hollowtech crank and a Gates belt. When it comes to braking, WILHELM XIV ROHLOFF also sets its own accent with hydraulic Formula R1 disc brakes. The deep midnight-blue paint further sets the model apart visually from the alu pur and cream-white variants of the series.
WILHELM XIV ROHLOFF is the sporty luxury tourer for everyone seeking a slim, efficient commuter in everyday urban life while feeling at home on longer distances. The purist diamond frame allows a direct riding experience, while the enormous 526 per cent ratio spread covers both relaxed cruising and powerful climbing. The robust hub gearbox stays sealed against dirt and moisture and demands little attention, which eases extended tours. With optional lighting and mountable mudguards and racks, the bicycle is also suited to travel with luggage. Riders fond of a low step-through will find a comfortable option among the brand's step-through models; WILHELM XIV ROHLOFF, through its sporty diamond frame, mainly speaks to those who prefer a classic, agile frame design.
