Quite different: Actofive P-Train
The frames for the Actofive bikes are produced in Dresden under the roof of Metzner Engineering GmbH using state-of-the-art CNC production facilities and measuring systems. The machining time for the main components is over 20 hours, with around 38 kilograms of aluminum being mangled by the milling machine. Both chips and larger residual parts are recycled. The additional effort per frame amounts to more than 8 hours of manual work, including gluing and assembly.
The result of this work? The P-Train, for example. The key data here are two bonded half-shells made of milled aluminum, which are joined together to form a frame. Variability is the order of the day when it comes to suspension travel, with a wide range of 145 to 175 millimetres possible on the rear wheel and options from 160 to 180 millimetres on the front wheel. In terms of geometry, the 78 degree seat angle and 64 degree head angle are thoroughly modern values, with a mullet option on top. Another new feature is brake torque support for the rear brake. This is nothing new in itself - Kona bikes from the noughties, for example, are a good example - but the support still reliably helps to decouple the braking effects from the suspension.Note: This content has been automatically translated from German.
