Robert Axle Project Lightning Rear 12mm 167/172mm M12 x 1.0 Axle

Years of riding with bulky thru-axle handles that often caught on trail obstacles motivated us to develop a superior solution. The Lightning Bolt-On thru axles provide a premium, streamlined, and lightweight alternative to traditional bulky designs. They come in various sizes, compatible with both front and rear wheels across all thru-axle equipped bike models.

The Lightning Bolt-On axles deliver a stronger, more durable, and lower profile alternative to standard thru-axles for both front and rear wheels. Their sleek, aerodynamic design eliminates bulky handles that catch on trail obstacles. Engineered to be lightweight, the axles are internally hollowed to reduce weight without sacrificing strength. Installation is simple, requiring only a 6 mm hex wrench. Precision-manufactured in the USA with aerospace-grade materials and CNC machining, these axles maintain tight tolerances to prevent loosening during rides.

KEY FEATURES

• The diameter of this axle is 12 mm and the true length of the axle shaft is 172 mm. We include a tapered 5 mm X-12 spacer for 168 mm axle length fitment. Please note: Thru-axle lengths do not equal hub standards. An axle has to be longer than the hub to fit in the frame. A 12×142 hub does not equal a 142 mm long axle.
• This axle has a 1.0 mm thread pitch.
• Weight: 43 grams
• The axle is precision CNC machined in the USA from 7075 aluminum and hard anodized for rugged durability. Our axles are built to the tightest standards in the industry.
• No special tools required. Design allows for installation or wheel removal using your standard 6mm hex wrench.
• Designed, built and quality tested in the USA. Proven around the world.
