Chris King

The benchmark in performance since 1976.

Legendary Quality & Performance

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.

Chris King Gen 4

Generation 4 hubs feature small tweaks that update the hub system with universal drivers, axles, and common bearing sizes. King made these upgrades with the intention of lowering hub conversion costs and increasing longevity by making parts cross-compatible, backwards compatible, and easier to service. Once outfitted with the Gen 4 system, transitioning to a new drive system could cost as low as $80 USD; however, you will require some specialized CK bearing press tools. Although this is a significant reduction from the complete conversion kits priced at $275 USD, previously $380 USD, the latter still remains the easiest way to convert your hubs to another driver.

Durable Bearings

Chris King bearings are precision manufactured in-house. They’re exceptionally durable and due to their unique sealed angular-contact design, bearings actually adapt and improve with use. 

Patented Technology

Chris King hubs are built with their patented RINGDRIVETM technology offering 72 points of simultaneous engagement (45 points in R45 road hubs) and are capable of handling an industry-leading 800ft/lbs of torque.

Easy to Service

Chris King hubs are also well constructed making maintenance minimal and easy. We suggest carefully reading their servicing guide before attempting maintenance on your own.

Made to Last

With 40 years of experience as industry leaders, Chris King backs up their hubs with a lifetime warranty supporting their top tier claim.

Available Chris King Options

Chris King hubs are once again available in both CL and 6-bolt options. All Chris King hubs use the same rear axle across drivers, which makes conversions a breeze.
