Orbea bolt through 12 x 148mm Boost rear axle
12 x 148mm boost axle for Orbea bikes
(Although the boost axle is 148mm the axle bolt is actually longer at 179mm- to take into account the frame etc)
This axle is compatible with the following bikes:
Orbea Occam 2017/2018 (TR and AM) carbon frame
Orbea Occam 2017/2018 (TR and AM) aluminium frame
Orbea Laufey (previously Loki) 2016-2017
Orbea Alma OMR
Orbea Alma OMP
Orbea OIZ 2017/2018
Orbea Wild FS (Electric)
Orbea Wild HT
Note: This is the axle only and doesn't include the rear axle washer - part no: 12320004 - though this is not required for the new 2019 version
Weight: 44g
Tools required:
2019 onwards version (of this part - compatible with older bikes)
6mm Allen key / hex wrench - tighten (2019 black version) to 10Nm, it is written on the axle
The pre-2019 bronze version - Orbea part number 11100055 - uses the same size - 6mm Allen key - and should be tightened to 20Nm
Grease - the threads should be greased to make future removal easier
If we had a scale of difficulty for fitting 1-10, with 1 being the easiest, this would be about 2 on the scale (it would be 1, but it depends upon how stiff the axle bolt is - this partly depends upon how often it is removed and how well it is greased)
Notes:
The Orbea description for this part was: EJE DE RUEDA TRASERO ORBEA DE 12x148
In 2019 Orbea's description is now: Real thru axle orbea boost 12x179x1.25
In 2019 the old bronze coloured axle bolt (Orbea part code 11100055) was replaced with this new bolt through axle bolt in a black colour, it also now recommends to be tightened to 10nm.
The new bolt also replaces Y0000063
Here's a short video on the difference between the 2019 and pre-2019 axle and how it fits
