RockShox Maxle Stealth Mtb 12 X 142mm Rear Through Axle

Upgrade your ride's performance and aesthetics with the ROCKSHOX Maxle Stealth MTB 12x142mm Rear Through Axle. Designed for the discerning rider who values efficiency, stiffness, and a clean, minimalist look, this axle is a premier choice for upgrading your mountain bike´s wheel and tyre system. It is a fundamental component for modern MTB Cycling, delivering tangible improvements in handling and reliability on the trail.The core benefit of the Maxle Stealth lies in its innovative, lever-less design. By removing the traditional quick-release lever, ROCKSHOX has created an axle that is not only significantly lighter but also presents a sleek, low-profile silhouette. This Stealth approach minimizes the risk of snagging on trailside obstacles, branches, or rocks, providing an extra layer of security and confidence when navigating tight, technical singletrack. It also contributes to better aerodynamics and a cleaner, pro-level appearance for your bike.Key Benefits and Features:* Enhanced Stiffness and Control: The robust through-axle design creates an incredibly strong and stiff connection between your wheel and the frame´s rear triangle. This translates directly to more precise steering, sharper tracking through corners, and more efficient power transfer when you´re putting down the watts.* Significant Weight Savings: By eliminating the lever mechanism, the Maxle Stealth shaves crucial grams from your bike, making it an ideal upgrade for cross-country racers, climbers, and any rider focused on building a lightweight machine.* Superior Security: The axle is tightened and loosened with a standard 6mm Allen key, which you likely already carry in your multi-tool. This secure, tool-based closure prevents accidental opening and offers a measure of theft deterrence compared to a simple lever.* Sleek, Minimalist Aesthetics: Give your bike a custom, streamlined look. The absence of a bulky lever creates clean lines at the rear dropout, a detail that performance-oriented riders appreciate.* ROCKSHOX Precision Engineering: As a leading name in suspension and cycling components, ROCKSHOX ensures this axle is manufactured to the highest standards of quality and durability for long-lasting, dependable performance in all MTB Cycling conditions.This essential piece of hardware from the Axles and closures category is more than just a fastener, it´s a performance upgrade that enhances the structural integrity of your bike´s rear end. Whether you are building a new bike from the frame up or looking for a high-value upgrade to your current setup, the ROCKSHOX Maxle Stealth provides an immediate and noticeable improvement in ride quality.Brand: ROCKSHOXSpecifications:* Product Type: ROCKSHOX QR axle ´´Rear Maxle Stealth´´* Model Code: QR AXLE RS REAR MAXLE ST* Hub Standard: 12x142mm* Overall Axle Length: 164mm* Axle Diameter: 12mm* Required Tool: 6mm Allen Key (not included)* Discipline: MTB Cycling* Category of Axes: Rear Through Axle
