Token Titanium / Carbon Skewers




Just to give you a rough idea of how much weight saving you can get by using the Token Ti / Carbon skewers on your bike, Shimano's top of the line XTR skewers weighs (56g front + 62g rear) 118g/pair & that, we're talking about XTR. These Token babies only weigh 36.2g/pair. So if you're using something else, do the math yourself, bro.

I'm not promoting Weight Weenism here but weight does play a very important role in performance. Just imagine that you're carrying a piece of brick as you run a marathon. Maybe you'd not feel that much of a burden in the beginning but as you begin to get tired, that small piece brick probably feels more like as if it weighed a ton !

So, weight DOES matter. Just get smart & get yourself a pair of these so that you need not drill holes in your frame to lighten your bike !

Give us a call.
