A Robert Axle Project Lightning Bolt-On axle replaces the proprietary rear R.A.T. axle on Focus bikes with a simpler bolt-on design and a standard threaded nut, so wheel changes no longer need the R.A.T. tool.

Highlights

  • 12mm diameter, M12x1.5 thread, 172mm length, 12x142 hub
  • Replaces the Focus R.A.T. nut with a standard threaded nut
  • 7075 aluminium shaft, hard-anodised, 45g (axle and nut)
  • Installs and removes with a standard 6mm hex wrench

Fits Focus R.A.T. rear forks

This axle is built specifically to replace the rear R.A.T. axle on Focus bikes with a 12x142 hub — it is not a generic 12mm axle. A 12x148 Boost version is also available as a separate listing.

Compatibility & fit

Confirm your bike on Robert Axle Project's online Axle Finder (robertaxleproject.com) before ordering, or bring your bike to the Tune Cycles workshop and we'll measure your existing axle and fit the replacement.

Robert Axle Project warrants its axles to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the original purchaser's ownership, covering manufacturing faults only — not misuse, crashes, incorrect installation or normal wear and tear. For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with Robert Axle Project's Australian distributor. This is in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, so keep your proof of purchase.
