Built for 12x142mm rear hub standards, this axle helps ensure accurate wheel alignment in the dropouts, improving handling, braking consistency, and drivetrain performance. Its internal design keeps the look of the bike clean and streamlined, while also reducing the risk of snagging on trail obstacles or during transport.
