    That’s a DT Swiss one, which I believe uses a different thread size to other makes.

    The Robert Axle Project is a good site to check the different sizes (and has a thread template to verify the pitch): https://robertaxleproject.com/

    You just have to pick the right size.

    Maybe have a look on the Giant website to see if they list the size, or failing that, pop down to your LBS for advice

    If you google 12 mm thru-axle, there’s bound to be one that doesn’t have a handle but has an allen socket instead or some other mechanism.
