Discover the rear hub Chris King R45: exceptional performance, unmatched durability, and precision engineering for demanding cyclists.
Description
Our job is to build the best hubs in the industry, and 142mm x 12mm rear hubs are THE standard for disc road and gravel bikes. So we put our heart and soul, not to mention a huge amount of engineering, into this hub. We think it's the best disc hub on the market.
R45 Centerlock hubs combine a lightweight hub body, our legendary in-house bearings and Centerlock compatibility. The result: a better ride, longer life, cooler sound and a more attractive look than anything else out there.
On top of all that, the hub's 45 simultaneous engagement points improve power transfer and traction with our patented RingDrive system.
Our bearings, whether steel or ceramic, feature surgical-grade steel rings that are heat-treated and simultaneously machined to ensure a perfect match. The quality and speed of our bearings is what you'll feel (and hear) with every run. As the Chris King bearings wear, they get faster and faster. A little regular love (i.e. maintenance) will keep this hub rolling for years and years of demanding use.
