Ludwig

The Classic Sportsman
Technically innovative and versatile - Ludwig is the multi-faceted classic for everyday use and weekend touring. Equipped with Shimano transmission, Ludwig is perfectly balanced between flexibility and performance. For the first time, Ludwig is now available as a limited edition in graphite black with integrated dynamo-powered lighting system from LightSKIN.
Ludwig follows in the tracks of Siegfried's sportiness while at the same time setting new priorities in terms of flexibility for everyday use. The Shimano Alfine transmission contributes to this, as does a more comfortable frame geometry thanks to a longer wheelbase, higher head tube and lower bottom bracket. Lights and mudguards can be easily retrofitted if necessary - selected components integrate perfectly to maintain the reduced design language and typical Schindelhauer character.
Peace of mind
Instead of a conventional chain, the maintenance-free Gates Carbon Drive CDX CenterTrack belt drive ensures a light, silent and fast ride. For extended tours with climbs or fast tailwind passages, the Shimano Alfine 8- or 11-speed transmission is a perfect match.
Shimano Alfine 8-/11-gear hub
With a spread of 307% for the 8-speed hub or 409% for the 11-speed hub, it offers enough leeway for any terrain. The pawl-free freewheel is super-quiet and an ideal complement to the silent belt drive.
