Pilen Lyx

Pilen Lyx is our most popular bicycle. Pilens are built to run easily on forest trails as well as on tarmac

It comes with single, 2, 3, 5, 7 or 8 gears. With extra strong spokes, double skin rims and a strong carrier they can easily take heavy luggage.

Since the summer of 2010 the frame and fork have been welded from high-quality chromium-molybdenum steel and the fork is finished with a distinctive cast crown. Compare with other bike brands. You will be amazed and pleasantly surprised. Pilen bikes are amazing to ride and well thought out in every detail. They are low maintenance and highly corrosion resistant with environment-friendly powder coating.

Highlights:

  • Frame of TiG-welded chromium-molybdenum steel. Superb quality, strong and very resilient.
  • Sleek and strong fork in chrome-molybdenum steel with cast crown. Highly stable handling and wonderfully comfortable on the road or trail.
  • Perhaps the best wheels on the market with double skinned aluminium rims, precision spoke holes and eyelets with extra strong stainless steel spokes. The rear wheel have reduced spokes.
  • Stainless steel stem, handlebars, mudguards, seat post, and all the nuts and bolts out of 8.18-steel.
  • The construction and design is harmonized to provide outstanding corrosion protection, low maintenance with classic elegance. This bicycle will last you forever you can even pass it on to your grandchildren!
  • Brooks Saddle. Undeniably best saddle on the market. Beautiful leather construction that will adapt to your shape for the most comfortable ride ever.
  • With Shimano Nexus Inter-8 you have the option of getting roller brakes in the rear hub and no coaster brakes.
