As white as oiled cream over a sporty core: the WILHELM XII P-LINE in cream-white combines individuality, design and top technology. The P-Line range is Schindelhauer's city custom bicycle series, and this version wears its paintwork like a tailor-made jacket – clear, purist and pleasingly restrained in an urban appearance. Beneath the light shell lies the claim of the top class: a CNC-milled Pinion P-Line with twelve gears, built for the highest demands. The minimalist frame made of AL6061-T6 with an aero-shape tube set, triple butted and with smoothed welds, joins in, along with the well-thought-out details of the Berlin manufactory. The result is less a bicycle, more a piece of character for the street.

With the Pinion gearbox mounted centrally in the frame, the WILHELM XII P-LINE is optimally balanced – and each of the twelve gears conveys the directness of a singlespeed ratio. The low bottom bracket as well as long head tubes and top tubes provide a sporty, yet tour-ready seating position. In the service of the purist design, all cables are routed internally, keeping the frame line clean. The drive consists of the low-maintenance Gates Carbon belt (39 teeth at the front, 28 at the rear); braking is handled by the hydraulic Shimano Alfine S7000 system with 160-millimetre rotors. Comfort is taken care of by the Brooks Swallow Classic saddle and the ergonomic Schindelhauer leather grips. With a permissible total weight of 120 kilogrammes and mounting points for mudguards and front and rear racks, the bicycle is ready for everyday use; lighting can be added as an option.

The meaning of the name WILHELM XII P-LINE

Behind WILHELM XII P-LINE lies a modular concept in which individuality is written in capitals: WILHELM is the personalised custom bicycle that is assembled according to your own wishes – from colour and mudguards to lighting. XII names the twelve gears in Roman numerals. P-LINE denotes the premium gearbox line from Pinion, chosen for this model for its CNC-milled precision and particularly refined components. Finally, cream-white describes the light, warm paintwork that lends the bicycle a restrainedly elegant expression.

Is WILHELM XII P-LINE the same as WILHELM XII C-LINE?

A fair question – after all, both bear the Roman twelve. The difference lies in the heart of the drivetrain: while the C-Line version also uses a Pinion unit, the P-Line brings the CNC-milled gearbox line that Schindelhauer reserves for even more demanding configurations. There is also the equipment: on the P-Line model, a Brooks Swallow Classic saddle sits on the Schindelhauer seat post, and the fine-toothed rear hub from Schindelhauer rounds off the high-quality overall picture. In the cream-white paintwork, the bicycle also deliberately keeps its distance from the purist aluminium look and appears exceptionally elegant in the street scene.

Who the WILHELM XII P-LINE in cream-white is for

This Wilhelm appeals to everyone who understands their bicycle as an expression of their own style and still does not want to do without well-thought-out technology. In the city, the central gearbox position makes it pleasantly agile and well balanced; on longer rides, the sporty yet tour-ready seating position and the comfortable Brooks saddle pamper the rider. Whether as a daily commuting partner, as a design statement in the evening or as a companion for weekend trips – the WILHELM XII P-LINE cuts an equally elegant and confident figure everywhere. And because every bicycle is tailor-made to personal wishes in small quantities, the choice of colours, mudguards and further accessories remains deliberately open. A test ride is then the best way to find out how good this premium bicycle feels.
