DT Swiss RWS MTB Rear Thru Axle 12mm

Initially designed as an improved version of the quick release, RWS has grown into a range of high-end, high-performance wheel mounting systems that suit anyone from the core roadie to the enduro racer.

The RWS system secures wheels safely, quickly, and with unrivalled clamping force. The DT Swiss RWS MTB Rear Thru Axle is manufactured entirely out of aluminum, featuring a forged lever as well as machined and anodized axles. Finally, the finished quality is a prime example of Swiss precision, just like you would expect from DT Swiss.

After having been ahead of its time when introduced back in 2005, RWS has become one of the standard axle systems. And for good reason. As riders ride harder, on rougher terrain, and on bikes allowing for speeds never attained before, every bike has to have a reliable wheel mounting system.
