Bontrager Race Lite Axle Kit

This kit is specifically engineered for Gen 1 Aeolus Pro, Paradigm Comp, Aura, and Race Lite hubs. If your hub model falls outside of this list, this kit will not be compatible, and you should consult your wheelset's original documentation or a local bike shop to identify the correct part.

Yes, the kit includes both the replacement axle and the necessary end caps for installation. You will not need to purchase additional hardware to complete the swap.

This is primarily a maintenance and repair solution designed to restore your wheelset to its original factory specifications. It is not intended as a performance upgrade, but rather as a direct replacement to maintain the handling and integrity of your existing hub.

While the installation is straightforward, you will need standard bicycle maintenance tools, such as cone wrenches or hex keys, depending on your specific hub design. If you are not comfortable with hub maintenance, we recommend having a professional mechanic perform the installation to ensure proper bearing preload and safety.

Because this kit uses factory-spec components, it is designed to preserve the original handling characteristics and performance of your wheel build. It ensures that your hub operates as intended by the manufacturer without altering the wheel's geometry.
