Starting at just 30g for a pair, the OVERFAST thru-axles allow you to shave up to 100g off the weight off your bike without compromising on function or performance.
While this is a weight weenie product, there was no question of compromising safety. 30g is well within the limits of what we could do responsibly. We tested to above and beyond industry standards again and again.
At the sharp end of the peloton 100g can be the difference between winning and losing. The OVERFAST Thru Axles are a performance orientated part for the dedicate athlete who is seeking marginal gains.
The unique, secure interface between the carbon shaft and aluminium locking thread was the hardest engineering problem to solve. That's why we patented it to protect ourselves and protect you from cheap imitation products.
After two years of research & development we have officially launched our first product: The OVERFAST carbon fiber thru-axle.
We’re proud of our accomplishment and have applied for and been granted patent protection.
We’re always pushing the envelope for weight reduction, but we draw the line at compromising safety. Our thru-axles passed a series of both non-destrcutive and destructive testing before their official launch.
1) Thru axle fatigue test with wheelset (EN standards)
2) Thru axle Impace test with wheelset (UCI standards)
3) Maximum torque test (19NM).
4) Maximum tensile strength test (950kgf).
5) Inspection test with X-ray machine.
6) Lateral compression test (100kg, maximum of 200kg).
7) Carbon cap impact and fatigue resistance test (20J impact, 12NM torque locking, continuous twisting for 200 times at one-minute intervals).
8) More than one year athlete real world test.
While bikes are genuinely a tool for good in the fight against climate change, carbon fiber is an inherently messy industry. As such, we try to be as environmentally conscious as possible with our packaging, while still making sure the product is well protected.
