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

The SRAM Maxle Ultimate rear thru-axle with M12 x 1.75 thread and 167 mm length ensures a stiff, secure rear wheel lock on your MTB – completely without tools. With its integrated 20 mm lever (TL20), the axle can be opened or closed in seconds, allowing you to focus entirely on the trail instead of fiddly bolt-on axles.

Compared to classic quick-release skewers, the Maxle Ultimate offers significantly more stiffness in the rear triangle. This improves tracking stability and handling – especially in fast corners and on rough descents. At the same time, operation remains intuitive: flip the lever, loosen or fix the axle, re-engage the lever – done.

With its subtle black finish, the thru-axle blends in discreetly with 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's/manufacturer's specifications).

Highlights:

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