THE PRECISION OF CNC MACHINING COUPLED WITH OUR EXPERTISE
THE SIGNATURE X CRANKSET AND CHAINRINGS
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”. When we started designing the new SIGNATRE X crankset, we really wanted to build a crankset that would benefit riders who put a premium on durability and stiffness. For those riders who want to install a well built component, and only think about when snapping a pic for the ‘gram.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR CRANKSET
The SIGNATURE X is more than a crankset; it is the heart of your drivetrain. Tailor your setup to match your performance needs and aesthetic vision. From the precision-machined length of the crank arms and spindles to our signature anodized finishes and chainring configurations, every detail is crafted to your specification in our Dresden workshop.
1. Choose the crank arm type, length and color
2. Choose the spindle length
3. Choose the hardware color
BUILDING THE CRANKS
At our facility, we machine all CNC parts in-house with expert precision. Every once in a while we machine a batch of SIGNATURE X crank arms from frame remnants. Both the frames and the cranks share the same semi-finished product, which helps us to use our material effectively.
SPECIFICATIONS
The SIGNATURE X crankset comes in two weight options, a few different colors and three spindle length´s to suit every style of riding. For colors we offer silver, black and raw as standard colors. Additionally, we have the preload adjuster rings and screw caps (Hardware) in nearly all colors, and we even have limited edition colors of the crank arms ever now and again… so keep your eyes peeled!
Crankset spindles are available in SHORT (68mm) and LONG (73mm) and EXTRA LONG variants. This means you can use these cranks for your mountain bike of course, but also a gravel bike or cyclocross bike. We’ve even seen customers install 110bcd spiders and run these cranks with a double chainring! Wild! The SHORT spindle results in a q-factor of 161,5mm, the LONG spindle comes in at 168mm and the EXTRA LONG spinle at 176mm.
A great crank is nothing without reliable standards. We went for the SRAM DUB 29mm bottom bracket standard, so a lot of you can swap an ACTOFIVE crank into your existing bottom bracket… we honestly couldn’t have made it any easier! For the chainring mounting we chose the proven SRAM 3-bolt design, and of course the crank arms both have integrated self-extracting bolts. We did all this to keep the number of tools for install and removal as low as possible.
