RIDENOW Thru Axle Set Titanium for SPECIALIZED
Every morning you walk past your bike. It hangs on the wall like a work of art - light, exclusive, perfect. At least almost. Your gaze lingers on some detail: the stem, the crank or the screws on the bottle cage. Your mind immediately starts calculating - how many grams could I save? Your thoughts often drift off in everyday life too. While others are thinking about work, family or dinner, you are mentally weighing bike parts. The numbers are dancing, your thoughts are spinning, your pulse is racing - the scales are your judge. And then there it is, that moment. Weeks, months of comparing, calculating and screwing. You hang your bike on the scales and hold your breath: under 6.8 kilos. Below the magic limit. For a moment, the world stands still. You feel triumph, lightness, almost redemption. But the feeling doesn't last long. Soon a voice in your head whispers: There’s still room for more.
That's right, there's more! Only 25 grams, but maximum strength - the titanium thru-axle set from RideNow for your lightweight wonder.
For comparison: One of the lightest tuning thru-axles in our range, made by an Italian specialist, weighs 28 grams. However, this refers only to the rear axle.
But how is this even possible? Thanks to the new holy grail of lightweight construction, titanium grade 5, an alloy of titanium, aluminum and vanadium, also known as Ti-6Al-4V. It combines two worlds: the weight of aluminum with the strength of steel. This material is extremely tensile, extremely corrosion-resistant and almost outrageously light, without compromising on stability.
The set includes two thru axles, one for the fork and one for the rear triangle, manufactured specifically and with high precision for your treasure on two wheels, packed in a smart wooden box that does justice to the contents.
Note: With great weight savings comes great responsibility. Only use copper paste or anti-seize assembly paste, for example from Motorex. The maximum torque of 8-10 Nm must be meticulously adhered to and checked regularly. The permissible rider weight is also limited and must not exceed 90 kg including clothing and equipment.
Note: The set is tailor-made for one or more models from one manufacturer and has been manufactured exactly according to their geometry and thread standards. You can find all compatible frames in our data sheet. We have also measured all RideNow thru axles for you. To be on the safe side, please compare the values such as length, head shape and thread pitch with the thru axles of your frame before ordering.
