Schindelhauer Ludwig - Graphite Black Limited Edition
Schindelhauer Ludwig - Graphite Black Limited Edition
Description
The Classic Sportsman
Technically innovative and versatile - Ludwig is the multi-faceted classic for everyday use and weekend touring. Equipped with Shimano transmission, Ludwig is perfectly balanced between flexibility and performance. For the first time, Ludwig is now available as a limited edition in graphite black with integrated dynamo-powered lighting system from LightSKIN.
Sporting flexibility
Ludwig follows in the tracks of Siegfried's sportiness while at the same time setting new priorities in terms of flexibility for everyday use. The Shimano Alfine transmission contributes to this, as does a more comfortable frame geometry thanks to a longer wheelbase, higher head tube and lower bottom bracket. Lights and mudguards can be easily retrofitted if necessary - selected components integrate perfectly to maintain the reduced design language and typical Schindelhauer character.
Peace of mind
Instead of a conventional chain, the maintenance-free Gates Carbon Drive CDX CenterTrack belt drive ensures a light, silent and fast ride.
Alfine components
The hollow axle and external bearings work together to achieve the essential stiffness that the belt demands, while a fixed clamp collar gives a precise belt line to ensure a highly durable belt – at the same time, as a visual highlight, it decisively shapes the character of the bike.
Gates Carbon Drive
Since day one, Schindelhauer has been using the superior belt drive from Gates, which consists of embedded carbon fibres. All bikes are specially designed for the belt drive in order to take advantage of all the benefits.
Zero maintenance
Oiling, greasing and rusting are a thing of the past.
Highly efficient
With a higher wattage, the efficiency is higher compared to the chain.
Long life span
The Gates Carbon Drive lasts about 3-4 times longer than a chain.
Stay clean
Due to the lack of oil, it keeps your trousers away from dirt.
Super quiet
No chain - No more chain running noises.
Lightweight
The Gates Carbon Drive weighs 20% less than a classic chain.
Seamlessly integrated technologies.
Ludwig is designed from the ground up for the Gates Carbon Drive to make the most of all the advantages of the drive system. Innovative technologies such as the Schindelhauer belt port and the slider-belt-tensioning-system are seamlessly integrated to consistently maintain the purist design.
Aluminium frame
Stable, robust and yet a true lightweight - the frame is made of high-quality 6061 aluminium. The smoothed weld seams using the “flat-welding” process are a visual highlight.
Patented Belt Port
The patented Belt Port, an almost invisible opening at the dropout, makes it very easy to change the belt drive.
LightSKIN LED handlebar
With a brightness of 150 lumens, it is the world’s smallest lens that meets the high requirements of the StVZO. Thanks to good heat dissipation, it has a long life span.
LightSKIN LED seat post
Five LEDs, recessed in the seat post, ensure optimum safety in road traffic from all angles.
Sporty-classic cockpit
High-quality leather features and silver-polished components reveal the clear character traits: Ludwig is a classic sportsman. The clean cockpit seamlessly integrates all components and offers agile handling.
The Schindelhauer Moon handlebars are ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip and an upright cycling position. The stylish sweep of the bar ends, which curve slightly backwards (18°), mean you’ll enjoy casual touring all the more.
You’ll love the clean and neat appearance achieved by transferring the segment system from our seat post clamp. The stem can be mounted to angle either upward or downward (+/- 7° rise).
