Lightning Bolt-on Axle – Rear 12 mm x 178 mm x 1.5 Thread for FOCUS R.A.T. – 12×148 Boost
$ 58.00
After years of mountain biking with thru-axles with bulky handles that seemed to strike every trailside obstacle we needed a better option. Our Lightning Bolt-On thru axles offer the highest quality, simple, lightweight alternative to that bulky handle. Available in a range of sizes that fit both front and rear wheels on all types of thru-axle equipped bikes. Compatible with Hexlox security systems.
This thru axle is compatible with bikes that have the FOCUS R.A.T. thru axle system and 12×148 hub spacing. M12x1.5 threaded replacement nut included, to replace the FOCUS R.A.T. nut that came on your bike.
Description
- Be free. No longer are you constrained by the proprietary R.A.T. axle. Simply replace the R.A.T. nut with our threaded nut and thru axle. A complete solution for a standard threaded axle for your FOCUS R.A.T. equipped bike.
- Lightning is Better. Our front and rear Lightning Bolt-On axles offer a stronger, more durable, lower profile and lighter weight option to replace your stock thru-axles.

THIS IS REALLY GREAT PRODUCT!
Now I’m using it in UCI official races. I was looking for a thru-axle that can replace the FOCUS RAT system. I met this happily! This is really light and great quality.
My bike is FOCUS 01E
