Lightning Bolt-on Axle – Rear 12 mm x 209 mm x 1.5 Thread
$ 48.00
After years of mountain biking with thru-axles with bulky handles that seemed to strike every trailside obstacle (including ourselves) 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. Learn about compatibility with Hexlox security systems.

It was a very easy order process, and the axle arrived within a few days. The axle is well made, and it fit perfectly. I love the low profile.

Wanted a simple non quick release axle. I couldn’t find one for my size anywhere. Available here and quickly shipped to me. Works good, looks good can’t ask for more.

Worked perfectly on my Framed Minnesota LTD rear axle. The factory quick release had a nut with a set screw that just didn’t work well. This axle is easy to torque properly with just the factory nut without using the setscrew. Much simpler and more secure and no bulky QR lever.
