Bike accessory designed to secure wheels quickly and reliably for road, MTB and BMX riders. PLATT Bike Quick Release Skewers combine stainless-steel rods with CNC-machined aluminium levers for durable, lightweight performance. Are the sizes and fit right for your hubs and riding style?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Holding Strength: Stainless-steel rods and precise aluminium levers ensure consistent clamping
- • Best for: Road, mountain and BMX riders needing lightweight, reliable quick releases
- • Not ideal for: Bikes that use thru-axles or non-standard hub spacings
Stainless-steel rods pair with CNC-machined aluminium alloy levers and a hollow shaft design. Front 140mm and rear 175mm skewers weigh 120g per pair and come anodised in several colours.
Long-lasting clamping – thanks to stainless-steel rods and CNC machining
Stainless-steel rods provide tensile strength while CNC machining on aluminium levers creates tight tolerances for the cam and pivot surfaces. A hollow-shaft arrangement reduces weight without compromising rod integrity.
Secure wheel attachment holds under normal riding loads and resists corrosion. Riders can expect consistent clamping action over many rides.
Lightweight yet eye-catching – with anodised aluminium construction
Aluminium alloy levers are anodised to produce a colourfast finish and protect the surface from wear and oxidation. The minimalist design reduces bulk while keeping structural rigidity through precise machining.
The low pair weight (120g) helps keep overall bike mass down while coloured finishes add a visual upgrade. The skewers suit riders who want performance and style.
Straightforward fit across many bikes – thanks to front/rear length differentiation
A shorter hollow-shaft front skewer and a longer rear skewer match common quick-release hub spacing conventions. Compatibility is described as universal for most road, MTB and BMX hubs.
Installation is intuitive: the shorter skewer goes to the front, the longer to the rear, making wheel swaps and maintenance faster. Most quick-release hubs will accept these skewers without modification.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these skewers compatible with my bike hubs?
A: Compatibility is stated as universal for most road bikes, mountain bikes and BMX, with a 140mm front skewer and a 175mm rear skewer. If a hub requires different spacing or a thru-axle, fit cannot be guaranteed.
Q: What materials are used in construction?
A: Stainless-steel rods are combined with CNC-machined aluminium-alloy levers for strength and corrosion resistance.
Q: What colour options are available?
A: Anodised finishes are offered in Black, Blue, Gold, Red and Titanium, with a colourfast surface to reduce fading.
