Lovely bicycling

Pilen City is a new graceful step-through bicycle. A humble and neat Swedish-built utility city-bike with basket (ladies) and comfortable upright riding position. Pilen City is dedicated to those who want an pleasant uncomplicated bike with excellent road handling for daily commuting to work or school. Like its sister models, it has a durable and resilient frame in chrome molybdenum steel and the amazing Tange bottom bracket – so the driving experience is highly pleasurable and the roll is alluring.

In every detail

The bike is easy to handle and very safe with stainless steel mudguards, approved lock and lighting. You choose saddle color between Black, Honey and Brown on the saddle Montegrappa Future. As with all of Pilen’s models, you can choose to build a City Special by using your Pilen City with leather seats or nice components. The ladies bike is available in the three colors Black RAL 9005, Clear Red RAL 3002 or White RAL 9003 and gents colors Black RAL 9005.

The City comes with 1, 3, 7 or 8 hub gears, black basket (ladies). Choose between rim brakes front and battery headlight or hub dynamo and roller brakes front. The standard City model can be customized into a variety of variants, called City Special, where you choose how your Special model will look and be equipped. Choose color scheme and components according to your own taste.

Pilen is an unique Swedish manufacturer of well-built utility and city bicycles with lovely comfort and quality in the smallest detail.

Customise a City and get a City Special

A good bike is something you would like to enjoy, feel proud and have a good relationship with – aesthetically, technically and economically. That’s why Pilen embraces the customers’ creativity. It makes sense for everyone involved. The customer gets his personal Pilen to enjoy and Pilen gets to sell more beautiful Pilen bikes.

The City Special is a City where you have selected paint job and parts to your own liking. Single colour bicycles with white or brown tyres are popular. Du kan choose:

Single coloured bike or a custom composition with fenders and chain-guard in any standard Pilen colour.
Red painted rims.
Brown or Creme tyres.
Saddle Brooks B17, B17 Special or faux leather.
Exclusive bells from Japanese Crane Bells.
A selection of baskets and carriers.

You must order a City Special though your Pilen retailer. Some delivery time might apply.

Why ride a Pilen?

The first and foremost argument is no doubt that you get a lot of bike for the buck. The Pilen only has but a few employees, and everyone in the company is able to build a bicycle with quality in the smallest detail. The bicycles are built at a lean production line that the Pilen folks built entirely on their own – a line that is subject to constant improvement.

You can choose the equipment level on all models. If you want a bike with just the bare necessities or spend a little extra, you have the chance to compose your own personal bike. Compare the Pilen's driving experience and the equipment level with other bicycle brands. The bike feels neater and more lively.

More delightful details

What makes a Pilen City a rare and beautiful breed?

Frame tubes in chrome-molybdenum steel grade 4130. A more expensive steel grade. The frame becomes stronger and more flexible with better driving experience. Take it for a spin and feel the difference. The frame is welded with TIG welding, a slow and advanced welding technique that produces strong thin joints. The frame details are brazed. True craftsmanship is beautiful and gives the best driving experience.
Elegant fork with cast steel crown. Fork legs in chrome molybdenum steel 4130. Fork legs are brazed to the cast fork. Very precise and responsive.
Very strong wheels with double bottomed alloy rims, targeted spoke holes, eyelets and strong spokes in stainless steel. Rear wheel got butted spokes for extra strength.
Maintenance-free bottom bracket from Tange model LN-7922 with forged steel solid spindle, quality shielded bearings and light alloy body cups. Just lovely feeling and spin.
Stainless steel 18.8 mudguards, struts, carrier clamps and all nuts and bolts. Alloy seat post and stem.
Elegant carrier in alloy.

Handlebars Sport or Roadster

The Sport handlebar is shaped like the new moon. It is slighly wider (605 mm) than the Sportster and is exactly horizontal (0 mm) in relation to the stem attachment point. With a Sport handlebar you ride more leaning forward as the handlebar sweeps back only 23°, and you have your knuckles more in the direction of travel. The Sport handlebar feels sporty and modern and reduces wind resistance. The Roadster handlebar is slightly narrower (595 mm) than Sport handlebar and the grips is 35 mm above the stem attachment point. You get a more upright riding position as the handlebar sweeps back 47° and the body weighs less on your arms and hands. The Roadster handlebar feels more relaxed and have a more classic look.

: Handlebars Roadster. More upright driving position.

: Handlebars Sport. More forward leaning driving position.

Prices Pilen City

The Pilen costs a little more because it is much more bike. The prices are competitive and the bikes are good value when you compare what you get. The lovely driving experience, quality of the frame, the fine bottom bracket, the leather saddles and the thoughtful design give you many carefree, joyful years of ownership. For customers outside Sweden shipping, currency exchange rates and customs are factors. If you can’t convince a local bike shop to stock Pilen you can send us a message and we’ll offer you a quote.
