A special drive

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-speed transmission is a perfect match.

Shimano Alfine 8-gear hub

With a spread of 307% for the 8-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.

Additional Alfine components

The hollow axle and external bearings work together to achieve the essential stiffness that the belt demands, while a fixed clamp collar gives a precise belt line to ensure a highly durable belt – at the same time, as a visual highlight, it decisively shapes the character of the bike.

Seamlessly integrated technologies.

Lotte is designed from the ground up for the Gates Carbon Drive to make the most of all the advantages of the drive system. Innovative technologies such as the Schindelhauer belt port and the slider-belt-tensioning-system are seamlessly integrated to consistently maintain the purist design.

Aluminium frame

Stable, robust and yet a true lightweight - the frame is made of high-quality 6061 aluminium. The smoothed weld seams using the "flat-welding" process are a visual highlight.

Patented Belt Port

The patented Belt Port, an almost invisible opening at the dropout, makes it very easy to change the belt drive.

Slider-belt-tensioning-system

The slider dropouts make changing a tube child’s play. Two sliders attach the rear wheel and can be moved backwards and forwards to tension the belt. After changing the tube and mounting the wheel, the belt automatically returns to its original tension setting.

Sporty-classic cockpit

High-quality leather features and silver-polished components reveal the clear character traits: Lotte embodies elegant sportiness. The clean cockpit seamlessly integrates all components and offers agile handling.

Schindelhauer handlebar Moon

The Schindelhauer Moon handlebars are ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip and an upright cycling position. The stylish sweep of the bar ends, which curve slightly backwards (18°), mean you’ll enjoy casual touring all the more.

Schindelhauer stem

You’ll love the clean and neat appearance achieved by transferring the segment system from our seat post clamp. The stem can be mounted to angle either upward or downward (+/- 7° rise).

Tange Seiki integrated headset

We’ve fully integrated the Tange cartridge bearing, so it accentuates the head tube. Seamless joints around the bicycle fork and stem area lend a flawless finish, creating the impression that the bike is cast from one piece of metal.
