Why We Make This
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.
