Years of mountain biking with cumbersome thru-axles that frequently hit obstacles inspired 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 thru-axle equipped bicycles. The Lightning Bolt-On axles, available for both front and rear, provide a stronger, more durable, and lighter alternative to standard thru-axles with a sleek, low-profile design that prevents trail obstacle strikes. Their aerodynamic form and internal bore reduce weight without sacrificing strength. Installation is straightforward, requiring only a standard 6 mm hex wrench. Precision-manufactured in the USA using aerospace-grade materials and CNC technology, these axles ensure superior fit and durability, preventing loosening during rides. KEY FEATURES The diameter of this axle is 12 mm and the true length of the axle shaft is 167 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 1.75 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.

Fit is perfect. Easy to install, looks good
Very high quality and torqued up easy
