The Burgtec fork axle for Fox 40 embodies the British manufacturer's philosophy: simplicity, reliability and uncompromising performance. Designed for demanding DH and freeride riders, this axle advantageously replaces the original Fox 40 fork axle by offering a leverless design, an ultra-resistant 7075-T6 aluminum construction and an ingenious backup solution that will save you many mechanical headaches.

Compatibility and standards

This 20 mm thru-axle is compatible with all generations of Fox 40 forks. Its dimensions scrupulously respect the manufacturer's specifications: axle length of 175 mm, thread pitch 3/4" X20 TPI UNEF, thread length of 8 mm. Direct installation without modification.

Technical innovation: the "Get Out of Jail" double hex

Burgtec revolutionizes the fork axle with its patented dual hex design:

• 6 mm hex on non-drive side: classic Allen key tightening, familiar and intuitive
• 8 mm hex on drive side: brilliant backup solution if the 6 mm is damaged, rounded or over-tightened
• "Get Out of Jail" function: this redundancy prevents you from missing a session because one socket is damaged — every rider knows this frustration
• Torque wrench compatibility: precise tightening to recommended torque, for optimal safety

Advantages of leverless design

• Maximum clearance: no protruding lever that risks catching roots, rocks or debris on technical sections
• Clean look: smooth and discreet lines, refined aesthetics
• Enhanced security: no risk of accidental lever opening mid-descent

Construction and materials

Machined from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum, this axle combines exemplary stiffness and lightness. 7075 offers a strength-to-weight ratio superior to standard aluminums and perfectly withstands the extreme stresses of DH. British manufacturing to Burgtec quality standards.
