In theory, indeed, thru axles are better, but in practice I never had any issue with the quick release.

As said, the only problem I had was with the front disc vibrating and making a lot of noise, probably due to the stiffness of the rigid thick, straight aluminum fork (it never happened on the rear brake that has the same disc type+diameter and same caliper)?

I also carried it unfolded, the problem is the same, its was really too heavy.

My Vektron had some components changed that reduce its weight but also some accessories added that increase it.
