Description

The DT Swiss RWS axle with aluminium lever stands for a solid and reliable connection between wheel and fork. Due to the direct transfer of the lever force to the thread, the RWS can achieve up to 50% higher clamping force than with conventional quick releases. This is not only safer but also increases rigidity which is particularly noticeable with disc brakes.
Features:
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.
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.
