DT SWISS RWS 10 X12 through axle

When mounting a wheel quickly and safely, the RWS system is untouchable. It combines the fast mounting of a conventional quick release with the force and safety of a thru axle. The high precision toothing at the inside of the lever allows to fully tighten the axle and to perfectly position the lever. The RWS axle system is available for various applications from road to MTB and tandem. Features: X-12: - X-12 refers to a 12 mm thru-axle system developed by Syntace (see thru-axle) with standardized axle dimensions and thread. Thru-axle: - Thru-axle refers to a wheel mounting system. RWS technology from DT Swiss allows quick, precise mounting simply by turning an easily adjustable lever. Thru-axle systems guarantee a rigid and secure connection between the wheel and the frame. Thru-axles must be compatible with the frame and fork because the built-in-width, diameter and thread of the axle vary and are defined by the frame and fork manufacturer. Boost: - Boost refers to wider axle dimensions. Frame and fork manufacturers use this to build a stiffer bike overall. A flatter spoke angle on the wheel can be created by increasing the flange distance, which improves the symmetry and increases the stiffness, especially on large wheels.
