"ActoFive's CNC-machining stepped it up a notch, cutting away almost 10% more material from their simplified crankarms to create a lighter Signature X SL crankset. Perfect for everything from gravel up to trail bike builds, the lighter cranks shed 50g over the original Signature X, but keep the same price. Plus, Actofive also adds new color options, letting Signature X buyers pick from 6 anodized finishes for their crank hardware with only a little extra cost."
"Calling it the 'latest evolution' of their 100% 'Made in Germany' in-house CNC-machined aluminum crankset, the new Signature X SL cuts weight down to 520g thanks to more detailed FEA development and more machining time. Actofive dropped 50g off the original Signature X by "utilizing deeper, more aggressive machining in the backside pocket of the crank arms" while keeping the outside unchanged."
"While the black anodized self-extracting crank bolts and BB tensioner remain standard, a touch of color is an affordable semi-custom option, too. Now, for an extra 20€, buyers can pick from shiny silver, red, gold, blue, or deep purple hardware to spice up any of the Signature X cranksets. For those who already have a Signature X crank, it'll cost you 95€ to upgrade to a new colorful hardware kit, including VAT."
Actofive's Signature X SL is a CNC-machined aluminum 1x crankset made in Germany that reduces weight to 520g through more detailed FEA development and additional machining time. The SL design removes nearly 10% more material and sheds 50g versus the original while preserving the crankarm outer shape. The cranks are rated up to ASTM Category 3 for cross-country, downcountry, and general trail riding; the regular Signature X remains the recommended choice for enduro and gravity use. Standard hardware includes black anodized self-extracting crank bolts and a BB tensioner. Anodized color hardware is available for 20€, or 95€ for an upgrade kit. Three modular spindle lengths broaden compatibility from modern 1x road bikes to downhill builds while the SL keeps the same price point.
