I-TRAIN

SHORT TRAVEL, FOR MANY REASONS!

WELCOME TO OUR NEW SHORT TRAVEL PLATFORM

The I-TRAIN is a fast full suspension frame with 105 MM, 115 MM, 125 MM or 135MM of rear wheel travel and up to 140 MM on the front. Short travel means efficiency, agility and response – For us, there are so many reasons to ride short travel bikes. We love long days in the woods as well as quick sessions with maximum fun. We designed it to be extremely active, ultra efficient and super fun, no matter what direction the trail points. Dive in and learn more about the I-TRAIN philosophy!

CNC MACHINED

We are experts in CNC. So why not machine to thin shell elements and bond them together by adhesive to achieve a lightweight hollow construction? The use of 7075-T6 aluminum leads to an excellent weight to strength ratio. It is thus not surprising that with 1.200 g, this main frame triangle beats lightweight records.

And by the way, we can make it look damn cool!

The I-TRAIN is the symbiosis of a CNC machined main frame triangle, CNC machined seatstays and handcrafted chainstay made by NICOLAI – the starting point of a long-term friendship with one of Germany´s leading bike manufacturers. For the perfect merge, we tailored geometries and kinematics to suit our style of riding – bet you´ll have a blast on it too!

ANODIZED ALUMINUM

At ACTOFIVE we love colors and we love to give free rein to your creativity when it comes to your dream bike. You can choose between different colors plus raw aluminum and combinations. Check out the configuration tool at the SHOP.

SHORT TRAVEL, FOR MANY REASONS!

Short travel means efficiency, agility and response – For us, there are so many reasons to ride short travel bikes. We love long days in the woods as well as quick sessions with maximum fun.

EFFICIENCY – The precisely designed four bar kinematics balances between a high anti-squat value and a favorable pedal kickback. In other words, if you push hard the bike feels firm. Getting loose, the suspension works sensitively, but with high support and a lively character.

FUN – Agility and response combined with low, long and mid-slack geometry. The I-TRAIN will be your best buddy for all types of terrain, even when it gets rowdy.

Oh, and it´s a monster in corners.

VERSATILE AND VARIABLE

The I-TRAIN offers various travel settings that make it a very versatile platform for all your riding. With 105mm, 115mm, 125mm and 135mm of rear wheel travel you can really dial in your favourite setup! All the below options are achieved with a separately available rocker and different shock lengths. Get in touch if you have any questions and we’ll help decide what’s best for you!

Just like our P-TRAIN, the I-TRAIN gets our Adjustable Ride° (AR°) headset system to enable you to adjust the headtube angle by one degree. This level of adjustment is huge, especially when paired with the versatility of the platform as a whole and the adjustable rear suspension travel!

Set the chassis height to NEUTRAL, HIGH and LOW with the included Flip Chips.

YOUR 11,8 Kg XC/DOWNCOUNTRY BIKE

105 or 115MM rear travel (190×45 [MM] shock) We recommend a 120mm fork for maximum speed and efficiency on XC and downcountry rides. The build shown here is 11,8 Kg (w/o pedals).

YOUR 12,3 Kg DOWNCOUNTRY/TRAIL BIKE

115MM rear travel (190×45 [MM] shock) We recommend a 130mm fork for efficient, all-day-epic, trail-focused rides. The build shown here is 12,3 Kg (w/o pedals).

YOUR 14,2 Kg TRAIL BIKE

125MM (210×50 [MM] shock) or 135MM (210×55 [MM] shock) rear travel. Mullet only. We recommend a 140mm fork to make it playful yet efficient for those bike park weekends or rides with big “chunk”. The build shown here is 14,2 Kg (w/o pedals).

MULLET OPTION

Maximizing fun and maneuverability – The 125MM or 135MM rear travel options are designed for a MULLET Setup (29” front and 27,5” rear). And due to it´s leverage ratio, you can even mount a coil shock. Awesome!

BALANCED GEOMETRY

At ACTOFIVE we´re big fans of a low and balanced center of gravity. The long Reach values (470MM size S2) distribute the rider’s mass centrally into the chassis, which allows for a high stability on descents and loads of traction on the front wheel. The low Bottom Bracket Height makes wonders in corners and due to the low suspension travel it won’t bother you with pedal strikes. Playfulness and agility are achieved by short Chainstays and a moderate Head Angle. And did we mention the new I-TRAIN is a corner eatin` Monster?

STORAGE CONCEPT

What a cool new feature is this direct mount frame bag we offer with the I-TRAIN? It carries all you need for a quick session or gives extra storage for epic days in the woods. Oh, and it´s made locally by passionate people.

“…EVERY PART OF THE RIDE IS A GAME”

Vojtěch Bláha, CZ national enduro champ: “It’s not about waiting until you reach the top of the trail. On the I-TRAIN every part of the ride is a game! …The bike grips so well that sometimes I forgot I’m not on my enduro bike and went big anyway… That was wild!”

RIDER FOR RIDERS

Simon Metzner, CEO: “I am proud of being independent and free to pursue ideas that truly fascinate me as MTB rider. With my company METZNER Engineering Ltd., we´re experts in engineering and CNC machining. It’s great that ACTOFIVE is now the majority of our work. The I-TRAIN is the latest coup in the ACTOFIVE lineup and fulfills my personal dream of a light and fast CNC bike – and by the way, this is the lightest CNC frame on earth! I love my I-TRAIN for all-day-epic, trail focused rides and as the perfect complement for my big hitting P-TRAIN. With its variability, it offers me the perfect platform to test different setups, because I’m really into experimenting. Right at my local riding spots, it reawakens mellow trails to new life – bet you´ll have a blast on it too!”
