Warp 9 Talaria MX5 Rear Axle Kit
The Warp 9 Talaria MX5 Rear Axle Kit was engineered to correct several shortcomings of the OEM rear axle system while making wheel removal, chain adjustment, and rear wheel alignment easier and more precise.
The stock MX5 axle is too short to fully engage the OEM axle block on the nut side, and the oversized axle block bore allows unwanted movement between the axle and block. Our solution starts with a completely redesigned axle and axle block system that eliminates slop and creates a much stronger, more precise fit.
The Warp 9 axle is longer than stock and works with our custom axle blocks that feature a precision-fit bore matched to the axle diameter. The axle is also keyed to the axle block, preventing rotation and allowing wheel removal and installation using only a single 17mm socket.
Our billet axle blocks feature machined locating steps that interface directly with the ridges cast into the OEM swingarm. This creates a significantly more secure and accurate fit than the stock axle blocks, improving wheel alignment and reducing movement under load.
The axle blocks also utilize a captive adjuster design. Unlike the OEM setup, turning the adjuster bolts positively moves the axle block forward or backward, allowing for smooth, precise chain adjustments without fighting loose components.
To complete the package, the kit includes Grade 5 titanium chain adjuster bolts and matching lock nuts. Titanium provides excellent corrosion resistance and eliminates the rust and seized-adjuster issues commonly found with the OEM hardware.
