Product Information

Full details

The Apico Rear Axle Blocks are precision-engineered components designed for motocross riders operating KTM, Husqvarna, and Gas Gas models, specifically the SX, SX-E50, TC50, EE-5, MC50, and MC-E5 ranges. These blocks are ideal for mechanics and riders who demand exact rear wheel alignment for optimal chain tension and handling performance. While they offer superior durability and ease of use compared to stock parts, they are model-specific, so users must verify compatibility with their exact bike year and displacement before installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will these fit my full-size KTM bike?

No, the RAB-20 ORA is designed specifically for the 50cc-class models listed. Check your bike's parts diagram to see if your axle block dimensions match.

Do I need special tools for installation?

No, you only need standard metric wrenches and a torque wrench to set the rear axle nut to factory specifications.

Does the colour fade over time?

The blocks feature a high-quality anodised finish that is resistant to fading, though extreme conditions and chemical exposure may dull the finish over several seasons.

Can I use these with the factory axle adjustment bolts?

Yes, these blocks are designed to be a direct drop-in replacement for the OEM parts and work perfectly with the factory adjustment hardware.

Why are CNC machined blocks better than cast?

CNC machining provides tighter tolerances, which ensures the block fits securely in the swingarm without wobbling, leading to more accurate alignment.

Troubleshooting

Blocks feel stuck inside the swingarm during adjustment.

Remove the blocks and clean the inside of the swingarm channel of any grit or dried mud. Apply a thin coat of light grease to the block sides.

Difficulty reading alignment marks.

Clean the surface with a degreaser. If dirt is embedded in the laser etching, use a soft-bristled brush to remove the debris.

Axle nut keeps loosening.

Ensure the axle blocks are properly seated against the adjustment bolts. Verify that the axle nut is torqued to the manufacturer's specified setting for your specific bike model.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved accuracy for rear wheel alignment
  • Highly durable 6061-T6 aluminium build
  • Laser-etched markings prevent fading over time
  • Corrosion-resistant anodised coating
  • Lightweight compared to standard OEM blocks

Cons

  • Compatible only with specific 50cc-class models
  • Requires proper tools for initial installation
  • Periodic cleaning required to keep laser marks visible

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

To install, loosen the axle nut completely and remove the rear wheel. Slide out the old axle blocks from the swingarm. Insert the new Apico blocks, ensuring the laser markings are facing outward and are clearly visible. Reinstall the rear wheel and axle, and use the marks to ensure equal adjustment on both the left and right sides.

Compatibility

These blocks (RAB-20 ORA) are specifically designed for:

  • KTM: SX, SX-E50
  • Husqvarna: TC50, EE-5
  • Gas Gas: MC50, MC-E5

Care

To maintain the blocks, wipe away excess chain lube and debris after every ride. If the bike is pressure-washed, ensure the area around the axle block is dried to prevent trapped moisture. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may degrade the anodised orange finish over time.
