lovely bicycling
Pilen Lyx is a Swedish-built stylish and durable roadster utility bicycle. A pragmatic romantic bicycle with comfortable upright riding position. The Lyx presents an extraordinarily comfortable ride that you simply have to experience. The Pilen bikes are painstakingly designed in the smallest detail, resistant to rust and environmentally friendly painted. The frame is TIG-welded in chromium-molybdenum steel SAE 4130 and has brazed details. Construction and form comes together in carefree maintenance and classical elegance. Are you ready to fall in love?
In every detail
Low-maintenance hub gears and brakes combined with handlebar shift, back-pedal coaster rear brake (with a hand operated brake option available) and a super-comfortable Brooks leather saddle. The bicycle is supplied with a substantial load-bearing rear carrier with hand painted Pilen logo. It has powder coated steel mudguards and chain guard, front dynamo and rear LED lights, a frame-fitted rear wheel immobiliser lock and a special Pilen bell. The Lady's model has a low step-through swan frame and front fitted basket as standard. The Lyx comes in 1, 3, 7 and 8 gears.
Pilen Lyx features
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.
Pilen Lyx as a branded bike
Pilen Lyx is an excellent choice as a branded bike for a company or organisation. We fit a sign to the carrier and you can have it in your brand's colour.

Customise a lyx and get a lyx special
Truth be told, we sell precious few bicycles as standards compared to the number of Specials that rolls out the factory door. A good bike is something you should enjoy, feel proud of 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.

- Frame tubes in chrome-molybdenum steel grade 4130. A more expensive steel grade. The frame becomes stronger and more flexible with better driving experience.

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.
