Chris King

The performance benchmark since 1976.

Carefully Perfected

Carefully perfected through stringent production and testing protocols, Chris King has been building performance components using quality materials carefully sourced from domestic mills since 1976. The latest iteration of their hubs come in at a lighter weight and in a few new colorways.

The most noticeable change to the new line-up of Chris King hubs are that they are now solely available in centerlock. The switch to centerlock saves a few grams when compared to the 6 bolt standard. However, the most noticeable improvement comes from the all new alloy XD driver. The move away from steel saves a whopping 82 grams! There have been minor tweaks to the hub shell measurements to accommodate the transition to centerlock. The new CL MTB hubs all use the same rear axle across freehubs, which makes conversions a breeze. The previous version required a different axle and tension collar for microspline setups.
