The DT Swiss RWS Thru Skewer (12 × 142 mm Rear) is a genuine DT Swiss axle engineered for secure, repeatable wheel retention on modern road, gravel, and MTB frames using the 142 mm rear standard.
Unlike cam-style skewers, the RWS system generates clamping force through a threaded bolted interface, delivering more consistent preload and improved alignment. The integrated 7075 aluminum lever allows tool-free installation and can be repositioned after tightening to achieve optimal clearance and a clean final setup.
This axle is ideal as a replacement or spare where precision fit, stiffness, and reliability are critical.
