KCNC Rear Thru Axle

Compatibility depends on three specific factors: your frame's axle standard (E-Thru, Maxle, or Syntace X-12), the thread pitch, and the total axle length. You must match these specifications exactly to your current axle to ensure a proper fit.

The low-profile head sits flush against the frame, which significantly reduces the risk of snagging on rocks, roots, or trailside brush. It also provides a cleaner, more streamlined look compared to standard lever-style axles.

Yes, because this axle uses a low-profile head rather than a built-in lever, you will need a standard hex key to install and remove it. This design helps save weight and prevents accidental loosening on the trail.

Yes, it is precision-machined from 7075 T6 aluminum, which is a high-strength alloy commonly used in aerospace applications. It is designed to handle the rigors of mountain biking while keeping your overall bike weight as low as possible.

You should tighten this axle to 10 Nm. Always use a torque wrench to ensure you achieve the correct tension without over-tightening, which could damage the threads or the frame interface.
