Materials & Construction:

Components & Technology:
The integrated 6mm hex key built into the lever simplifies quick adjustments on the trail or during repairs, eliminating the need for additional tools. The lever can be rotated into the perfect position after tightening, ensuring clearance and a streamlined appearance. The 12x1.0mm thread pitch and 142mm over locknut width make this axle compatible with a wide range of bikes, especially those with thru-axle standards.
