The becco thru-axle coupler M12 x 1.5 / 160-172 is the perfect complete solution for bikes with a thru-axle system. The set combines the high-quality becco Thru-axle made from 7075-T6 aluminum alloy with the innovative becco towing part, precisely matched for maximum safety and comfort. Together with your trailer's becco tow bar, they create a secure, comfortable connection. The solution is based on the proven coupler technology of the established brand Leggero, further enhanced by Qeridoo. The result is a ready-to-use coupler that sets new standards for safety, handling, and ease of use.
The complete solution – perfectly matched
The becco thru-axle coupler gives you everything you need on your bike to securely attach your bike trailer. The becco Thru-axle replaces your bike's original thru-axle and provides an integrated attachment point for the coupler system. The becco towing part attaches to it easily and securely. Both components are perfectly matched and, together with your trailer's becco tow bar, create a strong, durable connection that meets the highest safety standards.
Thru-axle made from aircraft-grade aluminum
The becco Thru-axle is made from 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, one of the strongest aluminum alloys available. This material is also used in aircraft construction and offers an exceptional combination of low weight and strength. The alloy withstands significantly higher loads than standard aluminum alloys while remaining corrosion-free, making it ideal for the demanding requirements of trailer operation.
The extra-thick hard-anodized coating provides additional protection against corrosion and wear. This extensive surface treatment hardens the outer layer, making it resistant to scratches, abrasion, and weather exposure. The result: a thru-axle that retains its appearance and function even after years of intensive use.
becco towing part made from a high-strength aluminum alloy
The becco towing part completes the coupler with equally high-quality materials: high-strength aluminum alloys and precision-made steel components provide maximum load resistance at minimum weight. The robust construction is designed for the dynamic loads of trailer operation and ensures a lasting, secure connection. Together, both components form a perfectly matched system that meets the highest expectations for quality and durability, even with intensive daily use in a wide range of conditions.
Easy attachment with the becco coupler system
The becco tow bar on your trailer makes attachment a breeze: place the tow bar head onto the thru-axle coupler's towing part, close the magnetically assisted clamping lever, and you're done. You can hear and feel it securely click into place. No awkward handling, no complicated steps. That's everyday practicality as it should be. Whether you're making a quick shopping trip in town or heading out on a big family ride, attachment literally takes just one simple motion.
Flexible length adjustment with the spacer system
The becco Thru-axle comes with different spacers for a precise fit on your bike. Included:
- 2x flat spacer (2 mm) – for fine adjustments
- 2x flat spacer (5 mm) – for larger length adjustments
By combining the spacers, you can adjust the effective length to 172, 165, or 160 mm to fit your bike model precisely. The spacers ensure that the axle sits in the optimal installation position and that the wheel is clamped securely without play.
Precise alignment – guaranteed
A clever design principle sets the becco coupler apart from conventional systems: alignment and fastening are separate. The towing part fits onto the thru-axle's integrated attachment point and can rotate freely before being secured. This lets you easily align it horizontally, the ideal position for optimal force transfer. The screw then secures it in this exact position without allowing the towing part to rotate.
The advantage over traditional couplers: with conventional systems, the coupler rotates uncontrollably during tightening, making its final position unpredictable and often slightly crooked. The becco coupler instead guarantees precise alignment during assembly. Once correctly adjusted, this perfect position stays in place permanently. For you, that means optimal transfer of towing force, less wear, and a better riding experience on every trip.
Which bikes is this thru-axle suitable for?
The becco thru-axle coupler M12 x 1.5 / 160-172 fits all bikes with a 12 mm thru-axle and the E-Thru standard (1.5 mm thread pitch).
Important: Before buying, measure the length of your original thru-axle and check the thread pitch. The becco Thru-axle is available in different lengths and thread pitches to cover nearly all common 12 mm standards.
Not suitable for: Bikes with carbon dropouts or a carbon rear frame (risk of breakage!).
Terminology: thru-axle vs. thru-axle coupler
Thru-axle: A replacement for your original thru-axle with an integrated adapter for the becco towing part. The becco towing part is also required for a functional coupler.
Thru-axle coupler (this product): A complete set consisting of a thru-axle and becco towing part.
Important: Only the combination of the thru-axle and becco towing part creates a functional coupler on your bike.
Good to know: Current Qeridoo trailers come with a becco towing part.
