They're not the lightest around, but Paragon Machine Works are now making some thru axles:

But, like everything they do, probably extremely well made. Their dropouts are awesome.

Do you see a weight listed for it anywhere? Particularly interested in the DT Swiss version.

Yeah most of their stuff is on point. It should be a great budget option for those that want a nice simple bolt on (and can get decent shipping prices). The weights are listed on each product page. The 100x15mm front seems heavy compared to a Kabolt or the new bolt on Maxle. A rear 142x12mm is fairly decent though, not far from the Syntace X12 axle.

I'm using those also & no issues. I'm selling my Tune 15QR front axle as I've just started using the fox kabolt. The Tune is only 3g heavier than the kabolt, which is pretty good considering its a quick release & not a bolt on.

Does anyone know if there is a option for X-Fusion forks?
