WHY WE MAKE IT

Chris, our founder and spiritual guide, the King himself, is above all a passionate mountain biker. We make this hub because it is a spiritual imperative for us, to honour the nature that has given us so much and to bring joy to Chris.

WHY YOU WANT IT

Our Boost Centerlock 148x12 rear hubs use one-piece axles for a rigid platform that optimises your suspension performance and transfers all your power to the terrain. For a perfect seal, they are equipped with bearing seals and reinforced circlips offering superior protection and minimal friction. Each hub is a true performance dream on the trails. Our bearings, in steel and ceramic, feature thermally treated surgical steel races machined simultaneously for a perfect fit. The quality and speed of our bearings will be felt (and heard) on every ride. The more Chris King bearing races are ridden in, the faster they become. Regular maintenance, even minimal, will ensure the longevity of this hub, even after many years of intensive use.

Chris King's patented RingDrive system, with its 72 simultaneous engagement points, transfers your power to the ground quickly, offers unmatched engagement and produces the legendary Chris King sound, reminiscent of an angry bee.

All Chris King rear hubs are equipped with this characteristic sound.
