AC1 - Trail

from CA$7,650.00

Trail AC1 – Your Everyday Weapon

The Trail AC1 is built for riders who want one bike to do it all. Optional custom frame sizing gives you the perfect fit, while the geometry is tuned for both climbing and descending. Sizing will be discussed after your purchase so we can ensure even with a standard size you get the best fit.

  • 160mm rear travel for trail and light enduro duty

  • Your choice of drivetrain — Pinion Smart Shift gearbox, our flagship, or the new SRAM Eagle 90 derailleur build

  • Custom fit for your body and riding style

  • Built by hand in Canada

Every AC1 shares the same chassis: the geometry, the high pivot, and the details we refuse to compromise on. New for 2026, the SRAM Eagle 90 derailleur build is engineered and protected the Archibald way — another way onto the platform, held to the same standard.

Start your build with a 50% deposit. Choose size at checkout. We’ll walk you through geometry, travel, and components, then build it just for you. Or add custom geometry to your order for those in between sizes we don’t stock.
