After years of mountain biking with thru-axles with bulky handles that seemed to strike every trailside obstacle, they needed a better option.
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.
Features
Lightning is Better - Front and rear Lightning Bolt-On axles offer a stronger, more durable, lower profile and lighter weight option to replace your stock thru-axles.
Low Profile -No more bulky handles to strike trail obstacles or create wind drag. Aerodynamic design.
Light Weight -Axles are internally bored to remove unnecessary material without compromising strength.
Easy to install -Matching front and rear Lightning Bolt-On Axles only require a standard 6 mm hex wrench for easy installation and removal.
Better Tolerances - Manufactured in the USA to the tightest tolerances using aerospace materials and CNC manufacturing. No longer will your axle loosen while riding.
