Lightning Bolt-on Axle – Rear 12 mm x 178 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 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.

This axle was a perfect replacement for my Frey AM1000 rear axle. I had the axle set up to accept the Hexlox security nut and it was one minute to swap it out. Now I have a strong axle that is protected from thieves.
