Description
This axle is compatible with hitch mount trailers and FOCUS bikes with the R.A.T. thru axle system and 12×142 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.

Perfect solution. Allowed us to use our new focus bike for kid-towing with a Chariot. Great quality and allowed us to buy a bike the shop originally told us would not work with a trailer.

I was disappointed after buying the perfect bike for me, a Focus, only to realise that the original RAT axle was incompatible with a trailer. So I was very pleased to discover the Robert Axle Project and surprised that they made a version also for the Focus RAT system. Great product, shipped to Norway quite fast.

Such a relief that someone makes these axles. Now i can take my kids trailer on holiday with my focus bike. The quality of Robert axles is good and also very smart. You can use a hex key to remove the axle(road side flat tire).
The service i got from Robert Axle Project was excellent!
