Tool-free rear thru-axle for quick wheel changes.

The SRAM Maxle Ultimate rear thru-axle with an M12 x 1.75 thread and 167 mm length provides a stiff, secure rear-wheel closure on your MTB - entirely without tools. With its integrated 20 mm lever (TL20), the axle can be opened or closed in just a few seconds, allowing you to focus fully on the trail instead of fiddling with screw-in axles.

Compared with conventional quick-release skewers, the Maxle Ultimate offers significantly greater stiffness in the rear triangle. This improves tracking and handling - especially in fast corners and on rough descents. At the same time, operation remains intuitive: fold out the lever, loosen or secure the axle, fold the lever back into place - done.

With its understated black finish, the thru-axle blends discreetly into modern MTB frames. Thanks to the standard M12 x 1.75 thread, it is suitable for many frames with a 12 mm thru-axle (please check your frame/manufacturer specifications).

Highlights:

• Maxle Ultimate: one of the most user-friendly thru-axle systems - tool-free, fast, and reliable.
• 20 mm lever (TL20): good grip and leverage for easy opening and closing.
• High stiffness: a stable rear triangle for precise handling and less flex in the frame.
• Tool-free operation: ideal for quick wheel changes during transport, training, or racing.
• Subtle design: a black look that suits most MTB setups.
