The Wheels Manufacturing Thru-Axle is engineered to provide a strong, reliable, and durable wheel retention solution for modern bikes. Designed and tested in Colorado, USA, it is manufactured from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminium, delivering excellent stiffness and long-term durability while keeping weight to a minimum.

Its low-profile design creates a clean appearance and helps reduce potential snag points on the bike. A unique captive rotating washer is integrated into the design to reduce friction against the frame or fork during installation, helping to prevent damage and ensuring a precise fit when tightening the axle.

Suitable as a replacement or upgrade for a wide range of bikes and forks, the axle features 5 mm hex fittings on both ends for straightforward installation and removal. The hard anodised finish provides additional resistance to wear and corrosion, making it ideal for regular use in all riding conditions.
