Years of mountain biking with cumbersome thru-axles that frequently hit obstacles led us to develop a superior solution. The Lightning Bolt-On thru axles provide a premium, streamlined, and lightweight alternative to traditional bulky handles. They come in various sizes, compatible with both front and rear wheels across all bikes outfitted with thru-axles. The Lightning Bolt-On axles deliver a superior option for your front and rear thru-axles, combining increased strength and durability with a sleek, low-profile design. Their aerodynamic shape eliminates bulky handles that catch on trail obstacles. Engineered with internal bore holes, these axles reduce weight without sacrificing strength. Installation is straightforward, requiring only a standard 6 mm hex wrench. Precision-machined in the USA from aerospace-grade materials with CNC technology, they 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 167 mm. This axle comes with a tapered X-12 spacer to make the axle length 162 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 12×142 hub does not equal a 142 mm long axle. This axle has a 1.0 mm thread pitch. Weight: 42 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.
