Description
- 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.
- Low Profile. No more bulky handles to strike trail obstacles. Aerodynamic design.
- Easy to install. Our front and rear Lightning Bolt-On Axles only require a standard 6 mm hex wrench for easy installation and removal.
- Light Weight. Our axles are internally bored to remove unnecessary material without compromising strength.
- Better Tolerances. Manufactured in the USA to the tightest tolerances using aerospace materials and CNC manufacturing. No longer will your axle loosen while riding.

This is NOT an axle for attaching trailers or trainers.

Easy installation, reasonable price, clean looks, hassle-free service. Fit guide made it simple to find the right 12x180mm/1.75 TPI axle for my Diamondback Mason after the OEM QR Thru-axle failed. Less than half the weight of the stock TA, and really cleans up the aesthetics of the rear triangle. Couldn’t be more pleased. Cheers RAP for bringing thru axles to the masses!

Does the job, looks great on my 2017 Niner Jet 9 RDO. Cleans up the look of the rear triangle and drops ~30grams.

The fitting process for my non-standard bike was easy; the fitting guide that includes a printable thread guide saved me a lot of trouble. The axle is well-manufactured and easy to install, and using it with a Hexlox lock was also smooth and easy.

Perfect.
Running a boost wheel in a 142 frame. Works just fine on my hardtail. Not for everyone, but if you do it you’ll need an extra 6 MM of axle length. Get an RAP.

After getting frustrated with my QR rear axle coming loose all the time, I gave RAP a try. Incredible product and absolutely perfect fit, this thing stays put! The axle selector function on their website takes the guesswork out of getting it right. Love the look and function of my Lightning bolt on axle.
Thanks Robert Axle Project!

This fit my 2016 Trek Stache 5 with a stranglehold adjustable drop out. I love how much better it looks. My old axel with a quick release cam head weight 86g and this one weighed 45g. Torqueing it to 12Nm also is feels satisfying! I bought from them because of reasonable prices and fit guarantees.

Ordered one to replace the rear axle of my GT Sensor 2019, which I happened to round off. Couldn’t find a replacement axle here in the Philippines and the peeps at RAP were awesome enough to ship theirs here! It fit like a glove and seems sturdier than the stock axle without any added weight. Thanks RAP for the save!
