DT Swiss RWS Plug In Rod Only MTB Thru Axle

Quick, safe and stiff - the RWS axle system.

The most reliable connection between wheel and fork.

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.

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.
