Overview

This Carbon-Ti X-Lock EVO is a front thru axle made for RockShox forks that take a 15mm axle with an M15x1.5 thread and a 148mm length. It is machined in Italy from 7075-T6 aluminum with a flat head, and it weighs 33 g. It is color anodized, in the color you select.

Why we love it

We love a mountain bike upgrade that saves weight exactly where stiffness still matters.

  • 01At 33 g it is machined with a variable wall thickness that keeps the front end tracking precisely without excess weight.
  • 02The flat head and laser etched graphics keep the fork crown area clean.
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 detail for a RockShox-equipped cross-country build.

Confirm before ordering

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

Newer model years and other forks may also fit, so confirm your fork’s axle specification against the dimensions above. A thru axle must match your fork in diameter, thread pitch, length, and head shape. The simplest check is to remove your original axle and compare its stamped size and length, or ask your fork’s manufacturer for the specification. Your hub also needs an internal axle sleeve for this axle to pass through.

Questions

Will this fit my RockShox fork?

Yes, if it takes a 15mm axle with an M15x1.5 thread and a 148mm length, and your hub has an internal axle. Remove your original axle and compare its stamped size and length, or contact Hammer & Howl with your fork’s model and year.

What does the internal-axle requirement mean?

This axle needs a hub built around an internal axle sleeve. If your hub is an open design without one, this axle does not work with it; check your hub’s specification before ordering.

Is a tool included?

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