Schindelhauer Arthur IX Ultimate

Arthur Ultimate redefines your riding experience and rises above the status quo. Arthur speaks Ultimate and ensures perfect communication within the installed systems. By offering full integration of the Mahle X20 motor with Pinion Smart.Shift, it enables a perfectly functioning ecosystem. No compromise on equipment and therefore no compromise on performance.

Compact yet powerful.
Cutting-edge technology seamlessly integrated. A lightweight hub motor, the battery concealed in the down tube and just one button on the top tube for control - every component of the Mahle X20 system fits perfectly into the Schindelhauer design language. Arthur Ultimate gives you the freedom to choose the riding style that suits you at any time. Whether electric or with your own power.

Lightweight motor
The reliable, ultra-light rear hub motor from Mahle weighs just 1.39 kg and is barely noticeable. Up to 55 Nm of torque ensure a strong performance.

3 performance levels
With the Human Machine Interface of the Mahle X20 system, you have three performance levels at your disposal - while you can always keep an eye on the battery charge level. Your own performance level starts at over 25 km/h, which has never felt so natural with Arthur Ultimate.

 

Smart app control
Connect Arthur Ultimate to the Mahle app to adjust your preferred motor settings even further, switch between auto and manual lighting, create routes, track and analyze your rides, check the battery status and install updates.

 

Battery in the down tube
Depending on the performance level, the integrated 250 Wh battery will get you between 50 and 80 km. A full charge takes around 3 hours. The battery can be removed for servicing.

 

Precise shifting via semi-automatic.
Pinion Smart.Shift fully integrated for the first time. Thanks to the new technically advanced integration of the Mahle X20 system with Pinion Smart.Shift, you can experience all the benefits of electronic shifting. Based on your preferred cadence, Pinion Smart.Shift automatically engages the matching gear at traffic lights. You can change the gear ratio manually at the touch of a finger on the TRP shift/brake lever unit (Brifter).

Pinion Ci-Line with 9 gears
The premier class of bicycle gears has been developed by former Porsche engineers and impresses with its exceptional durability, reliability and precision. Thanks to its central positioning, an optimum center of gravity is ensured. With 9 gears, you have a spread of 568% at your disposal.

 

Shift in 0.2 seconds
Smart.Shift stands for a new era of precision and speed in electronic shifting. In just 0.2 seconds, you can reliably control your transmission either semi-automatically or manually.

 

Semi-automatic with Start.Select and Pre.Select
Starting at traffic lights has never been more effortless. With Start.Select, you always start off in your preferred gear. Pre.Select is the perfect choice if you always want to be in the right gear automatically while riding. Simply define your desired cadence in the Pinion Smart.Shift app.

 

Manual shifting at your fingertip
Whether individual successive gears or entire jumps, you get direct feedback at all times and therefore a secure feeling when shifting gears at the hydraulic shift/brake lever "Brifter".

 

Turn on the lights
Consistent with functionality and design. TThe LightSKIN built-in light handlebar has undergone further evolution with the introduction of H1. H1 represents a complete redefinition of optical technology in bicycle lights, offering users an unparalleled experience. Experience the new lens from LightSKIN, achieved through highly precise optic technology.

LightSKIN - H1 Dropbar
The next stage of evolution: thanks to new lens technology, the integrated LightSKIN LED handlebar is three times as bright as its predecessor and offers even better illumination thanks to its central positioning.

 

LightSKIN - integrated LED rear light
Five LEDs, recessed in the seat post, ensure optimum safety in road traffic from all angles.
