Actofive "Signature X" Crankset

The new Actofive Signature X crankset is the evolution of their flagship Signature crankset. Actofive is foremost CNC experts and use their day-job to produce some of the most radical and incredibly engineered frames and small parts. The Signature crankset was developed using the same mill-and-bond techniques used for their frames, but to create a DH-certified, but more specifically affordable model, Actofive created the Signature X model.

The Signature X model is made using a one-step manufacturing process instead of the infinitely complex Signature CNC crankset. Because of this simpler process, the Signature X model is more affordable.

Still made in Dresden. Still manufactured to the exacting standards all ACTOFIVE products follow. Still modular and still beautiful. The new SIGNATURE X crankset represents the next phase of ACTOFIVE’s expansion and refinement. With its solid CNC construction, this crankset has successfully passed EFBE’s downhill category-5 ISO certification, and while you may not be racing downhill, this certification ensures that the answer to the question “will it survive?” is a simple “yes”.

Actofive @ DT Swiss Craft Bike Days

At the end of November DT Swiss hosted their now third annual Craft Bike Days, an invite-only bike show now located in the beautiful Lenkwerk building Bielefeld, Germany. The two-day bike show is geared towards knowledge talks and networking with other builders, manufacturers, and retailers. Actofive was again invited to the show and decided to bring their new I-Train XC/DC bike, this time in it’s most “trail” costume with a mullet setup and their new Signature X crankset with DH-certification.

Actofive is a client of Parallel for copywriting and content work, but also marketing work on a case-by-case basis. Parallel assisted Actofive at the Craft Bike Days and will continue working with Actofive with the further promotion of the new frame and crank models.
