CHRIS KING Headset DropSet 5 GripLock Ceramic Tapered SHIS IS42/28.6 | IS52/40 1 1/8"-1 1/2" | matt turquoise
CHRIS KING headsets have been the reference product in headset construction for many years. The legendary durability of the multi-sealed high-end industrial bearings and the classic design have shaped the appearance of the products from the USA manufacturer for years. The precisely milled and brightly colored anodised surfaces are of extremely high quality, typical for Chris King.
The newly developed GripLock system improves the steerer tube clamping to counteract the increased forces that occur with long-travel forks. The multi-part end cap is equipped with a slotted cone ring, which enables an even easier connection of the steerer tube and the head tube.
As with all CHRIS KING components, the heart of the headset is in the bearings. These are produced directly by CHRIS KING and, thanks to a special manufacturing process, contain more balls than the competition, which results in a more stable system overall. Before installation, each bearing is checked by hand for any quality defects and sorted out if necessary. The ceramic bearings installed here are the highest level of evolution. Their smooth running is phenomenal and their durability unmatched. In addition, they even save some weight.
Chris King has confidence in his products. They show it by giving a lifetime guarantee on their headsets. You only have to register them on their website after purchasing them.
