Simple, strong and ready for real-world riding
The leverless design keeps things tidy and reduces the chance of snagging on rocks, roots or trail debris. Tightening is handled with a 6mm Allen key, giving a secure, torque-wrench-friendly interface that inspires confidence on every ride.
“Get out of jail” backup fitting
If you ever round the non-drive-side fitting – it happens to everyone eventually – 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.
