A Clean, Leverless Rear Axle for Compatible Trek Remedy Frames.
The Burgtec Trek Remedy 198.3mm Rear Axle replaces the original rear thru-axle on compatible Trek Remedy mountain bikes. Its leverless design provides a tidy finish and removes the external handle found on a conventional quick-release axle.
Machined from 7075 aluminium, the axle has a 6mm hex fitting at both ends. One side is used for normal installation and removal, while the second provides a useful backup if the primary fitting becomes damaged.
Check Your Axle Before Ordering
This axle has a 12mm diameter, an overall length of 198.3mm and an M12 × 1.75 thread. These measurements must match the original axle fitted to your bike.
It is designed for compatible Trek Remedy frames using Trek axle reference W565793. The bike model and rear hub spacing alone do not confirm compatibility because different Trek frames and generations can use different axle lengths and thread pitches.
Remove your existing axle and compare its dimensions with the Burgtec drawing before ordering. If the original axle carries a Trek part number, check that it matches W565793.
Leverless Design
Removing the external lever creates extra clearance around the dropout and reduces the chance of the handle being knocked or caught by trailside debris.
The axle is tightened with a 6mm hex key, allowing a suitable torque wrench to be used. Always follow Trek’s specified axle torque rather than overtightening it.
The second 6mm hex fitting provides another removal point if the main interface becomes rounded or difficult to use. The leverless design is practical and clean, but it should not be treated as an anti-theft feature.
Key Features

Our Thoughts
This is a straightforward replacement for a damaged Trek axle or a neat option if you want to remove the protruding quick-release handle. The backup 6mm fitting is a useful feature if one end becomes rounded or the axle has not been removed for some time.
Compatibility is the part to check carefully. This listing is for the longer 198.3mm axle with an M12 × 1.75 thread. It should not be confused with Burgtec’s 184.5mm Trek axle, which uses an M12 × 1.0 thread and fits a different range of bikes.
