NOWYMP Axle

The Kindernay XIV is the only internal gear hub on the market that is made for use with full length 12mm Thru Axles. Such Thru Axles are now found on the majority of high performance bikes on the market. These 12mm axles vastly increase the stiffness of the frame / hub interface, compared to the old standard with open dropouts and a 5mm quick release.

The added stiffness is of prime importance on full suspension frames, but hardtails will benefit greatly as well.

Not only do they make the frame/hub interface significantly stiffer, increasing power transfer and responsiveness, they also make the bike safer, as the wheel will stay in place, even if the lever of the axle is accidentally flipped open.
