DT SWISS rear axle RWS Thru Axle 12x142 mm
The innovative wheel mounting system from DT Swiss! Instead of the eccentric clamping principle developed for racing bikes over 80 years ago, the clamping force of the RWS is built up by tightening a screw connection with a lever.
Operation is very simple: tighten the tensioner as tight as possible by hand (min. 15 Nm) by turning the lever clockwise. Depending on the frame construction, this can also be done by turning the lever several times. Then lift the lever and turn it to the desired position - the impeller is securely and firmly mounted.
Because there are no plastic parts in the power flow of the RWS, the clamping force is temperature-independent and the RWS is therefore 100% suitable for disc brakes! By directly transferring the leverage to the thread, the RWS can achieve a clamping force that is up to 50% higher than with conventional quick releases. This is not only safer, but also increases rigidity, which is particularly noticeable with disc brakes.
Note: The lever for tightening is firmly integrated into the axle .
