Robert Axle Project Lightning Rear Axle 12mm x 180mm M12 x 1.75

After extensive mountain biking experience with thru-axles featuring cumbersome handles that frequently caught on trail obstacles, we designed a superior alternative. The Lightning Bolt-On thru axles provide a premium, straightforward, and lightweight solution to replace those bulky handles. They come in various sizes compatible with both front and rear wheels across all thru-axle bike models.

• The diameter of this axle is 12 mm and the true length of the axle shaft is 180 mm. 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 12×148 hub does not equal a 148 mm long axle.
• This axle has a 1.75 mm thread pitch.
• Weight: 45 grams. (Your stock Maxle weighs 78 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.
