Giant Road Rear Thru-Axle

This axle is designed for specific Giant road frames with 142mm hub spacing and a 12mm diameter. While the dimensions are standard for many modern disc road bikes, you must verify that your frame requires a 1mm thread pitch, as other brands may use different thread standards.

The adjustable lever allows you to rotate the handle to your preferred position after the axle is tightened. This ensures the lever sits flush against the frame for a cleaner look and prevents it from snagging on debris while riding.

No, this component is specifically engineered for disc brake road bikes. Rim brake frames typically use quick-release skewers rather than thru-axles, so this part will not be compatible with your setup.

The axle is a self-contained unit designed to thread directly into your frame's existing dropout. No additional nuts or washers are required for installation, provided your frame is compatible with the 12x142mm standard.

Alloy is the industry standard for thru-axles because it offers the ideal balance of durability, stiffness, and weight. It provides the structural reliability needed for disc braking forces without the higher cost or potential fragility of exotic materials.
