Monterey, California – Hexlox, a company specializing in anti-theft solutions for bike components, has unveiled two innovative products at the Sea Otter Classic. One of the highlights is the Hexnut M12, specifically designed for e-bikes with rear hub motors. Equipped with an anti-spin ring, this locking nut can be fastened using a 6mm hex tool and secured with a 6mm Hexlox key. With compatibility for popular e-bike motor brands like Zehus, Bafang, and Mahle, Hexnut M12 addresses the growing need for effective security measures in the e-bike market.
Additionally, Hexlox has made significant improvements to their re-designed Hexlox thru axle, now manufactured in Germany. The new steelhead design specifically targets the issue of worn-out hex sockets on soft aluminum heads. By resolving this problem, Hexlox ensures enhanced durability and security for a wider range of bicycles. The Hexlox thru axle will be available in various lengths, threads, and sizes, including M12 Front and Rear, M15 Front, and QLoc. This comprehensive product range demonstrates Hexlox’s commitment to providing security options to all cyclists.
Hexlox CEO, Marcus Tonndorf, expressed his delight at the new additions to their product catalog, particularly emphasizing the significance for e-bike riders. He stated, “These products mark an important milestone for us in catering to the specific needs of e-bike enthusiasts. Finally, we can offer comprehensive security solutions for all types of bikes and wheels.”
In addition to being offered as aftermarket components, the Thru Axle and Hexnut will come preinstalled on select bike brands such as Schindelhauer and Canyon.
