Surly Rear Thru-Axle

This axle is specifically designed for frames with 197mm rear hub spacing. Before purchasing, verify your frame's spacing and ensure your hub requires a 12mm diameter axle with a 1.0mm thread pitch.

The bolted design offers a lower profile, which reduces the chance of snagging on trail obstacles like rocks or brush. It also provides a cleaner, more streamlined aesthetic while maintaining consistent, reliable tension on your rear wheel.

At 80 grams, this axle is built for durability rather than ultralight racing. The chromoly steel construction is chosen specifically to handle the high-stress demands of fat biking and aggressive trail riding where structural integrity is paramount.

The axle is a standalone component designed to thread directly into compatible frames. You will need a standard hex key to install and tighten it to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.

Yes, as long as your frame meets the specific technical requirements of 197mm spacing, 12mm diameter, and a 1.0mm thread pitch, this axle will function correctly regardless of the frame brand.
