When it comes to the actual workout, you really can’t go wrong with either.

The Kinetic Traxle is our ingenious solution for 12mm thru-axles typically used on newer mountain bikes and now increasingly more often on road bikes too. The Traxle replaces the entire thru-axle with a high-quality, machined aluminum axle that is frequently lighter and stronger than the OEM axle.
