Think it's for the pre load adjusters on the front forks? (Could be wrong as not near my bike at moment)

I can never work out why they give you tools to adjust front and rear suspension, but not enough tools to remove the wheels or adjust the chain.

The 10mm hex key is indeed for adjusting the preload, however... Not entirely sure why you get one in the tool kit on a post 2012 bike as the preload adjusters were changed to raised ones that require a spanner/screwdriver?

Pre-load adjusters are crap any way, just saves weight not having one LOL.

My front forks preload is altered with a spanner, so it looks like the 10 mm allen key is redundant, thanks for the replys folks
