Simon Metzner of Actofive is showing his latest CNC machined creation at Bespoked 2022; the P-Train 165. It is the German brand’s long-travel bike built specifically for enduro racing. It features the same high-pivot linkage as the P-Train 145, thus delivering a rearward axle path that necessitates the use of an idler pulley, but the new bike benefits from the addition of a floating brake arm that helps to isolate suspension movement from rear wheel braking forces.
Shown here in the lower of the two positions, the idler is located in the better position for pedaling. The higher position, that puts the chain closer to the main pivot, is better for descending as it reduces pedal kickback further. The above graph shows how the presence of the Braking Torque Support affects the anti-rise properties of the P-Train’s suspension platform.
