Product Details

Overview & Technology

RockShox Rear Maxle is a purpose-built replacement thru‑axle designed for 12x142mm rear hubs. Machined from high‑strength alloy and finished in black, the Maxle balances stiffness and low weight to keep your wheel secure under trail forces without adding unnecessary mass. Key engineering details include an M12x1.75 thread, 20mm thread engagement, and a 174mm overall length for the standard rear spacing. The non‑tooled lever mechanism gives fast, tool‑free wheel removal and reinstallation while the precision threads ensure consistent clamping torque and alignment ride after ride.

Key Features & Benefits

Durable alloy construction: The axle body is CNC‑machined from heat‑treated aluminum for high fatigue strength and low rotational mass. This material choice resists bending under heavy loads and helps maintain hub bearing alignment. • M12x1.75 thread: Industry standard pitch for secure engagement with compatible RockShox and many aftermarket hubs. • 174mm length, 20mm thread: Built to match standard 12x142mm rear spacing with reliable thread engagement for frame compatibility. • Non‑tooled lever: Quick release-style convenience without compromising clamping force.

Fit, Compatibility & Variants

This Rear Maxle is specified for 12x142mm (rear) thru‑axle spacing and uses an M12x1.75 thread with a 20mm thread length. Confirm your frame and hub accept a 12x142mm TA and M12x1.75 pitch before ordering. The supplied 174mm overall length is typical for standard MTB rear spacing. RockShox offers multiple Maxle variants — Maxle Ultimate and several Maxle Stealth options — with different lengths, thread pitches (M12x1.50, M12x1.00) and thread lengths to fit road, Boost (12x148mm), and specific frame makers like Santa Cruz and Scott. If your frame or hub uses a different pitch or Boost spacing, choose the matching variant to ensure proper fit and safety.

Who This Is For

This product is ideal for mountain bikers who need a robust, lightweight replacement axle for RockShox-equipped wheels or forks. It's especially appropriate if you lost or damaged the original axle, want a high‑quality spare, or prefer a dependable non‑tooled lever for quick wheel swaps on trail days. Racers, regular trail riders, and mechanics looking for an OEM‑grade replacement will appreciate the precision machining and standard sizing. If you ride Boost frames, road bikes, or frames with non‑standard thread pitches, check the available Maxle Stealth variants to match your setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Maxle compatible with my 12x142mm rear hub?

Yes — this Rear Maxle is specified for 12x142mm rear spacing with an M12x1.75 thread and 20mm thread length. Verify your hub accepts an M12x1.75 pitch and your frame spacing is 12x142mm before installing.

Can I use the non‑tooled lever at high clamp torque?

The non‑tooled lever is engineered to provide secure clamping for standard trail and race use. For extremely high clamp settings or heavy-duty torque needs, double‑check your frame and hub manufacturer's torque recommendations and inspect engagement regularly.

What is the weight and material of this axle?

This Maxle is made from heat‑treated alloy and the skewer assembly weighs approximately 74g. The alloy construction provides a strong yet lightweight solution compared with steel alternatives.

How do I choose between Maxle Ultimate and Maxle Stealth variants?

Choose based on thread pitch, overall length, and thread length required by your frame and hub. Maxle Ultimate typically covers common MTB standards; Maxle Stealth offers additional pitches and lengths for Boost, road, and specific frame makers like Santa Cruz and Scott.

Can I service or replace parts of the Maxle?

Many Maxle models allow basic maintenance like greasing the cam and inspecting the lever mechanism. For worn threads or damaged axles, replacement is recommended. Use RockShox OEM parts or full replacement units to maintain safety and performance.

Will this axle work on Boost (12x148mm) frames?

No — this specific Rear Maxle is for 12x142mm spacing. For Boost frames (12x148mm), choose the corresponding Maxle Stealth Boost variant with a 170mm length and appropriate thread pitch.

Buying Guide

When buying a replacement rear Maxle, first confirm your frame's rear spacing (12x142mm vs Boost 12x148mm) and the thread pitch used by your hub or frame (common pitches include M12x1.75, M12x1.50 and M12x1.00). Choose an axle with sufficient thread engagement—this model provides 20mm of thread length—for secure clamping and alignment. Also consider lever style, material and weight: non‑tooled levers offer fast on‑trail wheel changes, while alloy construction keeps weight down without sacrificing strength. If you have a specific frame maker (Santa Cruz, Scott) or a road/Boost setup, pick the matching Maxle variant to ensure a safe fit.
