Chris King DropSet 2 Titanium

Description

Why We Make This 

 

Have you noticed that many new bikes need internal bearing headsets? That can get tricky because bearings can easily slip out of their cups, causing a loss of preload and potential creaking, damage, and failure. But guess what? Our GripLock™ technology has the perfect solution for that. And to make things even more special, this version features titanium, which is extra strong, rigid, and resistant to chemical reactions compared to other metals found in bike parts.

 

Why You Want It 

Boasting our trademark GripLock™ bearing cap, this revolutionary innovation independently preloads the headset without clamping onto the steerer. As a result, it outperforms competitors and can withstand heavy impacts and hard braking. This translates to improved steering, less maintenance, no annoying creaks, and a longer lifespan for your headset.

Our GripLock™ technology eliminates the headache of figuring out how much to preload your headset, as the preload force is separate from the clamping force. Easily adjust our headsets to a torque spec.

Be sure to determine proper fitment to your frame before ordering. If you have any questions regarding proper fitment, please visit your local King dealer or contact customer service at info@chrisking.com.
