CHRIS KING headset InSet 7 GripLock Tapered S.H.I.S. ZS44/28.6 | EC44/40 1 1/8"-1 1/2" | silver
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 characterized the appearance of the products of the manufacturer from the USA for years. The precisely milled and brightly coloured anodized surfaces are, as is typical for Chris King, of extremely high quality.
The newly developed GripLock system improves the steerer clamp to counteract the increased forces that occur with long-travel forks. The multi-piece end cap is equipped with a slotted cone ring, which makes it even easier to connect the steerer tube to 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, resulting in a more stable system overall. Each bearing is checked by hand for any quality defects before installation and sorted out if necessary.
Chris King has confidence in its products. They show this by giving a lifetime guarantee on their headsets. All you have to do is register it on their website after purchase.
