Lightning Bolt-On Axles: Streamlined Performance for Modern Bikes
Upgrade your ride with axles engineered for precision and durability. Designed for mountain bikers and trail enthusiasts seeking lightweight axle solutions that eliminate bulk without sacrificing strength, these bolt-on axles replace traditional thru-axles with a sleeker 12mm diameter profile (125mm overall length) for improved aerodynamics and obstacle clearance on technical terrain.
Key Advantages
- Reduced Weight: At just 29g per axle (vs standard 45-60g), optimize your bike’s handling without compromising rigidity
- Tool-Free Efficiency: Installs/removes in seconds using standard 6mm hex wrench (no proprietary tools required)
- Impact Resistance: Internally reinforced construction withstands jumps and rough trails while maintaining 100mm overlocknut spacing
- Low-Profile Design: Eliminates protruding lever handles that catch rocks or roots during aggressive riding
