DUMB, rockshox has it right. Just make the 20mm axle lighter, then you don't have to create a whole new standard with no interchangeability between them. Now there is just more product for bike shops to stock, more confusion on the customers end, and another standard that will last 2 years.

It is not QR its a 15mm thru axle which is tool free.

Simmilar to the RockShox Maxle which is 20mm...
