Chris King R45D Centerlock Rear Hub

Chris King Rear R45D Centerlock Disc Hub - 142 x 12 mm axle.

Why CK made this:

142 mm x 12 mm rear 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, and Centerlock compatibility. The result rolls better, lasts longer, sounds cooler, and looks way more handsome than anything else out there.

On top of all that, the 45 points of simultaneous engagement in this hub improve power transfer and traction thanks to the patented RingDrive™ system.

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.
