What is the difference between SRAM Maxle Ultimate and Maxle Stealth?

The Maxle Ultimate uses an external lever cam mechanism for tool-free operation. The Maxle Stealth is a bolt-type axle requiring a hex key — lower cost but slower to operate. The Ultimate is the correct choice for frequent wheel changes.

Can I use this axle on a gravel bike?

Yes, if your gravel fork specifies 12x100mm OLD, 125mm axle length, and M12x1.5 thread pitch. Many modern gravel forks share the road 12x100 standard. Verify your fork specs first.

Does this come with any hardware?

The Maxle Ultimate axle ships as a single unit — the lever and cam are integrated. No separate hardware is required for installation. Ensure your fork end caps are properly installed before inserting.
