Robert Axle Project Lightning Rear 12mm 174mm M12 x 1.75 Thru Axle

After extensive experience with thru-axles featuring cumbersome handles prone to hitting obstacles on the trail, we developed a superior solution. The Lightning Bolt-On thru axles provide a premium, streamlined, and lightweight alternative to traditional bulky handles. They come in multiple sizes, compatible with both front and rear wheels across a wide variety of bikes equipped with thru-axles.

The Lightning series delivers superior performance with front and rear Bolt-On axles that provide a stronger, more durable, and lighter alternative to standard thru-axles. Featuring a sleek, low-profile design, these axles eliminate bulky handles that catch on trail obstacles while enhancing aerodynamics. Precision-engineered with internal boreholes to reduce weight without sacrificing strength, they ensure reliable performance. Installation is straightforward, requiring only a standard 6 mm hex wrench. Crafted in the USA from aerospace-grade materials with tight CNC tolerances, these axles maintain a secure fit, preventing loosening during rides.
