Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the primary advantage of the three-peg design over a standard key?

A: The three-peg design provides increased surface area and stability, which helps prevent hub slippage during high-torque power surges. This ensures your rear hubs remain securely locked to the axle, providing more consistent power delivery.

Q: Is the AK004 compatible with both 40mm and 50mm axles?

A: Yes, the Swift AK004 is designed for versatile applications, fitting 40mm AXS040 series axles as well as standard 50mm inboard setups, making it a highly useful spare to keep in your karting toolbox.

Q: How does an axle key affect my kart's handling?

A: A secure axle key prevents "play" or movement between the hub and the axle. By eliminating this movement, you ensure that power transfer is direct and immediate, which helps maintain predictable handling and can contribute to faster, more consistent lap times.

Q: When should I replace my axle keys?

A: You should inspect your axle keys regularly for signs of deformation, rounding, or wear. If you notice any "slop" or movement when the hub is tightened, the key should be replaced immediately to prevent damage to the axle keyway and the hub itself.
