Overview

This Carbon-Ti X-Lock EVO is a rear thru axle for frames built to the RockShox Maxle standard with 135-142mm spacing, using an M12x1.75 thread and a 165mm length. It is machined in Italy from 7075-T6 aluminum and weighs 32 g. It comes in matte black.

Why we love it

We love how clean and simple a hex key axle looks next to the lever axles many Maxle frames ship with.

  • 01At 32 g it is machined with a variable wall thickness, keeping weight down without giving up rear-end stiffness.
  • 02The color anodized finish and laser etched graphics keep the dropout area tidy.
Why it makes the cut. Hammer & Howl only carries parts we believe are among the best in the business. This axle is a well-made swap for a Maxle-equipped road or gravel frame.

Confirm before ordering

If you are not sure this axle matches your frame, confirm with your bike mechanic or contact Hammer & Howl before ordering.

Newer model years and other frames may also fit, so confirm your frame’s axle specification against the dimensions above. A thru axle must match your frame in diameter, thread pitch, and length. The simplest check is to remove your original axle and compare its stamped size and length, or ask your frame’s manufacturer for the specification.

Questions

Does this replace a lever-style Maxle axle?

Yes. It replaces the RockShox Maxle in frames that use the 12x1.75 thread and 165mm length, and it closes with a 6mm hex key instead of a fold-out lever.

How do I check this axle fits my bike?

Remove your original axle and compare its stamped thread size and overall length, or ask your frame’s manufacturer for the axle specification. The diameter, thread pitch, and length all need to match.

Is a tool included?

No. This axle mounts with a 6mm hex key, which most multi-tools include. No tool ships in the box.
