The ORBEA Rear Axle 12x179 (1.25x15) Hollow is a precision-engineered thru-axle designed to securely fasten your rear wheel while maximizing stiffness and reliability. Built around the popular 12 mm standard, this axle helps ensure accurate wheel alignment in the frame’s dropouts, improving handling, braking performance, and overall ride stability. The 179 mm length and 1.25 thread pitch are commonly used on modern performance frames, making it a practical replacement or upgrade for riders who want factory-correct fit and function on their Orbea bike or other compatible frames.
Thanks to its hollow construction, this rear axle offers an ideal balance of strength and low weight, helping keep your bike responsive without sacrificing durability. It is well suited for road, gravel, and mountain bikes that use a 12 mm thru-axle rear hub, and is particularly useful when replacing a damaged axle or building up a new frame. Easy to install with standard tools, it provides a secure interface that resists flex under hard pedaling and aggressive cornering, giving you confidence on every ride.
