As your faithful cycling companion, it withstands sun, wind, and rain without complaint and ages gracefully thanks to its well-thought-out construction. The Pilen Lyx Ladies Bike easily carries elegant ladies or young girls in the countryside and the city, between home and work, on weekends and weekdays, to the dance floor and the beach, and is perfect for eco-friendly grocery shopping. The bike is solid, reliable, and beautiful to look at. A bike from Pilen often becomes a lifelong friend. And you can have it your way.
The Pilen Lyx has low-maintenance internal hub gears, protected from the rain, dual safe brakes, and a wide, comfortable saddle. On the road, the bike feels both lively and secure thanks to its resilient frame made of chromoly steel SAE 4130. The bike is equipped with a front hub dynamo, extra strong stainless steel spokes, double-walled rims, a load-friendly carrier with stainless steel springs, as well as stainless steel mudguards and chainguard. The rust protection is simply top-notch. The bikes come standard with approved lighting and an approved lock. The bike is available in 1, 3, and 7-speed versions. The tyres are Schwalbe Road Cruiser – easy-rolling and puncture-protected tyres that can handle high tyre pressure.

For Pilen Lyx
You choose the colour of the frame and fork, the colour of the mudguards, the colour of the rear carrier, and the colour of the chain guard. If you want the same colour for all parts, previously called single colour, you can have that. If you want the frame and fork in one colour, the mudguards in a second colour, the rear carrier in a third colour, and the chain guard in a fourth colour, you can have that too. Black mudguards, a black rear carrier, and a black chain guard are still available at no extra cost. The custom choices for mudguards, rear carriers, and chain guards have an additional cost of 150 SEK per choice, totaling 450 SEK if you want to customize the appearance of all three. You choose – we build.
For Pilen GT and Pilen GTV
The Pilen GT comes standard with a rotating chain guard mounted on the front chainring. You can choose to have the more protective chain guard from the Pilen Lyx installed—in either a colour of your choice or in matte polished stainless steel—for an additional 300 SEK. The wire-model rear carrier is never painted. You can opt to remove the rear carrier if, for example, you plan to install a child seat or prefer a more minimalist, sporty look for the bike. You choose – we build.
Please note that the Pilen GTV does not have a bicycle configurator. This is because the Pilen GT is essentially identical to the Pilen GTV, with the difference being that the GTV has 11 gears and hydraulic disc brakes.
For Pilen EL1
"And you can have it your way..."
The meaning of Pilen’s slogan “You can have it your way” applies to options and paintwork. Read about the colours available for the bikes. As far as is practically, logistically, and cost-effectively possible, we want to offer the creation of unique bikes.

The model is available in that Standard Colour with a normal delivery time of 2-4 weeks.
NOTE: We are currently revising our colour selection process. Plus Colour may affect the delivery time to the end customer. Plus Colour does not affect the price to the end customer.

Pilen can also paint one or more bikes in any desired colour – we call this Exclusive Colour – if we receive the name and RAL colour of the paint. This is done, for example, when Pilen produces Company Bikes where the customer wants their own profile colour. Painting in Exclusive Colours incurs an additional cost which is quoted to the customer upon request – after we have checked the availability of the colour with East Coast Industrial Coatings in Västervik, Sweden, and possibly with Axalta. The cost is always quoted and includes a fixed setup cost and a cost per bike. Note: the customer must specify the RAL colour for the Exclusive Colour. An RGB code or web colour code is not sufficient.
The normal colour scheme for Lyx means that the frame and fork are painted in the chosen colour. Chainguard, mudguards, and carrier are painted in Black RAL 9005.
The normal colour scheme for GT and GTV means that the frame and fork are painted in the chosen colour. The mudguards are matte-polished bare stainless steel. The rotating chainguard and wire model carrier are not painted.
The normal colour scheme for EL1 means that the frame, carrier, and fork are painted in the chosen colour. Chainguard, mudguards, and carrier are painted in Black RAL 9005.

Child Seat and Panniers
Thule's child bike seats
Thule states that their frame-mounted child bike seats fit bikes with a carrier width of up to 150 mm. The Pilen Lyx carrier is 170 mm. If you still want to mount a Thule frame-mounted child bike seat on the Lyx, the Lyx carrier is easy to remove (four screws).
To reduce the risk of bikes with child bike seats and/or bike bags tipping over, we recommend equipping the bike with Atran Moove double stand (optional).

Panniers
- Increased load capacity: Panniers provide extra space for carrying items, which is ideal for transporting groceries, work materials, or camping gear.
- Balance and stability: Compared to carrying a backpack, panniers distribute the weight more evenly and reduce the load on the cyclist, leading to a more balanced and stable ride.
- Weather protection: Many panniers are made from weather-resistant materials that protect contents from rain, dust, and other weather conditions.
- Safety and visibility: Panniers can be equipped with reflective materials or lights to increase visibility in low-light conditions, enhancing safety.
- Easy accessibility: Panniers are often designed to be easily accessible even while riding, so you can quickly reach water bottles, maps, or snacks without needing to stop.
- Variety and adaptability: There are different types of panniers for various needs, including rear rack panniers, saddle panniers, and handlebar panniers, making it easy to customize for the type of load you need to carry.
- Comfort: Using panniers instead of carrying a heavy backpack can reduce the risk of back and shoulder pain, especially on longer rides or trips.
- Efficiency: With panniers, you can use your bike for errands or trips where you might otherwise choose a car, saving fuel and reducing traffic.
- Promotes an active lifestyle: By facilitating the transport of equipment and supplies, panniers encourage more bike rides, both in urban environments and in nature.
Links to Thule product pages
Child bike seats and panniers are aftermarket products that people often choose based on personal preference, taste, and budget, and install on their bike either themselves or with the help of a bike dealer. Pilen does not mount child bike seats or panniers and has no business relationships with manufacturers of these products.
