Burgtec Santa Cruz Rear Axle 12x173.7mm – Burgtec Black delivers the kind of precision and durability that riders expect from a brand that obsesses over every detail. Clean, tough, and simple, this axle is built to keep your rear end solid and your bike handling exactly how it should—ride after ride.
Designed specifically to fit a wide range of
Santa Cruz and
Juliana models, this 173.7mm version is the go-to upgrade or replacement for riders running modern frames with
SRAM UDH compatibility. Machined from high-strength
7075 aluminum, it’s engineered to exact manufacturer specs for a perfect fit and long-term reliability.
