Burgtec Santa Cruz 168.6mm Rear Axle

Clean and simple is always best. The Burgtec Santa Cruz 168.6mm Rear Axle delivers a tougher, lighter and more secure setup thanks to its leverless design and precision-machined 7075 aluminium construction. Built to the manufacturer’s exact specifications, it’s the perfect upgrade for riders who want reliability without the clutter.

Key Features

• Leverless design for added security and extra clearance
• 6mm Allen key tightening
• Backup 6mm Allen key fitting on the drive side
• 20g lighter than the standard OE axle
• Includes dropout bolt
• Constructed from 7075 aluminium
• Made to Santa Cruz factory specifications

Simple, strong and ready for anything

The leverless design keeps things clean and reduces the chance of snagging on rocks, roots or trail debris. Tightening is handled with a 6mm Allen key, giving a secure, no-nonsense interface that works perfectly with a torque wrench.

“Get out of jail” backup fitting

If you ever round the non-drive-side fitting – it happens to the best of us – Burgtec have added a second 6mm hex on the drive side. It’s a small detail that can save a ride when you’re rushing to get rolling.

Lighter, cleaner, better

Machined from high-grade 7075 aluminium, this axle drops around 20 grams compared to the standard OE version while maintaining stiffness and durability. A dropout bolt is included to complete the setup.
