Whether you lost it, damaged it, or just want to keep a backup on hand, it's never a bad idea to have a replacement thru-axle on hand to save you from a future headache. The AX-MT700 Boost Thru-Axle from Shimano is available for the rear end of your 12 x 148mm boost bike with an overall length of 172mm and a thread pitch of M12 x 1. 5mm.

The lightweight aluminum construction and hollow axle allow this thru-axle to come in at a very svelte 76 grams.
