CNC-machined frames
Hi, I am Simon.
Curiosity and the passion for technical challenges, together with my long-time experience in engineering, are my driving force behind innovative concepts. My high demand for relentless function and an aesthetic design, render my bikes with an exclusive character.
Since 2018, I design and manufacture ACTOFIVE bicycle frames, made in Germany.

DT Swiss Craft Bike Days were a great chance to catch up with a number of fellow bike companies!
Earlier this month, in a rainy Bielefeld in Northwestern Germany, 40 bicycle manufacturers, builders, brands, and industry insiders gathered at the beautiful @lenkwerk.bielefeld building for two days of shop talk.
The DT Swiss Craft Bike Days is an annual event where @dtswiss supports builders and thinkers. It`s also a chance for companies like us to share experiences with others. This invite-only show is almost like a "private" show, giving us the chance to really hear other stories and share our own. We`re proud to have been invited for the third year in a row! This year, we showcased our newest model, the ACTOFIVE I-TRAIN, with the new SIGNATURE X crank!
We are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing gathering and look forward to the future of the DT Swiss Craft Bike Days!

When we started building the I-TRAIN, we had a few specific parameters in mind.
By setting goals for the platform, we were challenged to utilize all of our expertise and skills. We recognized the importance of keeping the weight below 3kg.
Although we`re not obsessed with weight, no one wants to carry unnecessary extra weight during a hot lap on a local trail. We achieved a weight of 2900g, comfortably below our goal and in line with other carbon frames with similar do-it-all platform flexibility.
Despite this, we ensured that the frame remained strong and composed.
We all know the feeling of a weak and flimsy frame that doesn`t inspire confidence while riding through the woods.
However, there`s no need to worry. We strategically reduced weight where it made sense, while preserving sufficient material where it truly matters.
The end result is a frame that can withstand challenging trails while still maintaining a weight that can help you win races... if your legs can keep up!
