Chris King R45D Centerlock Front Hub

Chris King Front R45D Centerlock Disc Hub - 100 x 12 mm axle.

Why CK made this:

100 mm x 12 mm Front hubs are THE standard for road disc and gravel bikes, so CK poured its hearts and souls, not to mention an awful lot of engineering, into this hub.

Why you want it:

The R45 Centerlock hubs pair a lightweight hub body with CK legendary, made-in-house bearings. The result rolls better, lasts longer, and looks way more handsome than anything else out there. The stiffness of the one-piece axle translates to laser-precise bike handling. This hub also comes in one million (actually a handful) of cool colors.

Plus, CK bearings have heat-treated, surgical grade steel races that are machined simultaneously to ensure perfect matching. The quality and speed of these bearings is what you will feel (and hear) on every ride. As Chris King bearing tracks burnish they get actually get faster. A little bit of regular love (i.e. service) will keep this hub rolling for years upon years of demanding use.
