Notable Tech, Materials & Construction

AL7075 Aluminium Alloy

The Carbon-Ti X-Lock EVO X-Colnago Thru Axle is manufactured from high-grade AL7075 aluminium alloy, a material commonly used in premium cycling components because it delivers an excellent balance of strength, stiffness and low weight.

Variable-Thickness Axle Design

The axle body uses a refined wall-thickness profile to reduce unnecessary material while maintaining the stiffness required for secure wheel clamping. This helps reduce weight without compromising confidence at the wheel interface.

Conical Head Interface

The conical head is designed to match compatible Colnago frame and fork interfaces, helping create a secure, stable and precise fit when correctly torqued.

6mm Hex Tool Fitment

The tool-based 6mm hex interface provides a clean, minimalist appearance compared with lever-style thru axles. It also helps prevent accidental loosening and is preferred by many performance road riders for race bikes and premium builds.

Laser-Etched Graphics

Carbon-Ti uses laser-etched branding for a durable, refined finish that suits high-end Colnago builds without looking overdone.

Made in Italy

The Carbon-Ti X-Lock EVO X-Colnago Thru Axle is made in Italy using premium manufacturing standards, aligning well with boutique Italian road bikes and high-performance component upgrades.
