Description

This axle is compatible with Surly bikes that have the MDS or Gnot Boost axle system and 12×197 hub spacing. 

Since 2013, we have been an important part of cyclists’ adventures all over the world. Our axles have millions of miles on them in mountain bikes and road bikes, carbon bikes, fat bikes and e-bikes. Our axles are specifically designed to handle the high-torque loads generated by e-bikes.

Your stock thru-axle is not strong enough to haul your precious cargo! Our axles are 3 to 4 times stronger than the stock axle that came with your bike. Our stainless steel axle ends provide a safe and secure attachment point of the hitch to the axle. The axle is quick to install and remove with a common 5mm hex key.

Our axles are not just designed in the USA, but are made here as well. They are machined by avid cyclists to the tightest standards in the industry. We safety test, to failure, every batch of axles we produce to ensure they exceed your expectations.

    Plans changed, and I needed to attach a Chariot kid trailer to my Ice Cream Truck at the 11th hour before a trip. I placed my order thinking it was 50/50 whether I’d receive the axle in time. 44 minutes later I received a shipping confirmation and tracking number!!! The axle arrived with time to spare, and installation was a piece of cake. Over the course of a week, I logged around 80 miles towing two children up an down some steep terrain. The hitch cup did not move one bit, nor did the axle loosen up or require my attention in any way. I’ve been aware of the Robert Axle Project for a long time, and I’ll admit that I was reluctant to buy because of the price. When I found myself in a pickle and in need of a rapid solution, the RA team absolutely came through for me with both a great product and incredible service!
