Lightning Rear: 12mm Length 159 mm M12 x 1.5 (LIG627)

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.

 

The diameter of this axle is 12 mm and the true length of the axle shaft is 159 mm. Please note: Thru-axle lengths do not equal hub standards. An axle has to be longer than the hub to fit in the frame. A 12×142 hub does not equal a 142 mm long axle.
This axle has a 1.5 mm thread pitch.
Weight: 35 grams
The axle is precision CNC machined in the USA from 7075 aluminum and hard anodized for rugged durability. Our axles are built to the tightest standards in the industry.
No special tools required. Design allows for installation or wheel removal using your standard 6mm hex wrench.
Designed, built and quality tested in the USA. Proven around the world.
