Chris King's goal is to make the best riding hubs in the industry, and the R45D 142mm x 12mm rear hubs raise the bar for road disc and gravel bikes, so they poured their hearts and souls, not to mention an awful lot of engineering, into this hub, which is why we think it''s one of the best all-around disc hubs on the market.
Chris King R45D Centerlock hubs combine a lightweight hub body, King''s 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 Chris King''s patented RingDrive system.
Chris King bearings, both steel and ceramic, have heat-treated, surgical grade steel races that are machined simultaneously to ensure perfect matching. The quality and speed of their bearings is what you will feel (and hear) on every ride. As a 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.
