Lyx Colours
Customise 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.
The Lyx Special is a Lyx where you have selected paint job and parts to your own liking. Single colour bicycles with white or brown tyres are popular. You kan choose:
- Single coloured bike or a custom composition with fenders, carrier, chain-guard in any standard Pilen colour.
- Silver anodised or red power painted rims.
- Brown or Creme tyres. Schwalbe Fat Frank or Big Apple.
- Leather saddle Brooks B66, B17 or B17.
- Exclusive bells from Japanese Crane Bells.
- A selection of baskets and carriers.
You must order a Lyx 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.
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.
