Essentially it would seem? ...but they're described as a ratchet in some blurbs, in the sense that you can release the handle, rotate it and position it as you please when finished tightening. What's interesting is they also have a thru-bolt QR as well, a 10mm shaft versus 5mm. The idea being they're trying to approximate some of the strength gained via a true thru axle system by going with an oversized QR axle that be clamped down to a higher degree. Hub compatibility comes into play with the Thru-Bolt.
