Clean, secure rear axle replacement for compatible Orange, Santa Cruz and Nukeproof bikes.
The Burgtec 174 mm Rear Axle is a strong, low-profile replacement for bikes using a 12 mm rear axle with an M12 x 1.75 mm thread. Its leverless design keeps the rear end tidy, provides extra clearance and uses a 6 mm hex key for fitting and removal.
Built for a Precise Fit
Machined from 7075 aluminium, this axle is made to the required dimensions for the compatible frames below. It corresponds with SRAM Maxle part number 00.4318.005.027.
Always compare the length and thread pitch with your existing axle before ordering. Bike model names are helpful, but the original axle dimensions are the best way to confirm fit.
