DT Swiss RWS Thru Skewer – Front 12 × 100 mm | 12 × 1.5 Thread | 13 mm Thread Length

he DT Swiss RWS Thru Skewer (12 × 100 mm Front) is a genuine DT Swiss axle designed to deliver secure, consistent clamping force with tool-free operation.

Unlike cam-style skewers, the RWS system builds clamping force through a threaded bolted connection, using a robust 7075 aluminum lever. This design provides higher and more consistent retention—ideal for modern disc brake forks where axle stiffness and alignment matter.

The lever can be repositioned after tightening for clean setup and optimal clearance, making it a favorite among riders and mechanics who want precision without overcomplication.
