Beware: Even though Robert Axle Project has "100% guarantee" that their thru axle will fit your frame when they recommend one after going through their search function, they were wroing in my case.
I recently bought a Seven which came with a DT-Swiss RWS Thru Axle. Since I prefered a bolt-on type, I took some pains in measuring the pitch (1 mm) of my DT-Swiss Thruaxle. Then, I went to Robert Axle, put in my bike model only to find out that the frame uses a 1.5 mm thru-axle with a 100% guarantee according to Robert. Befuddled, I was, to say the least. I had measured the pitch to be 1 mm specifically!
I called Seven, gave them the serial number, and found out that it indeed is 1 mm. Seven also told me without my asking that I should not believe Robert's axle recommendation for my model year.
Long story short: measure your thru axle pitch, the thread and the thru axle length, and whether you will need a conical or a flat spacer.
