Offering 12mm Thru axle compatibility for added stiffness, your disc rotor is attached via Shimano's multi-spline centerlock standard, facilitating lightning-fast breaking.
Designed with road, gravel, triathlon and CX riders in mind, the Chris Kking R45D front centerlock disc hub 100x12 rolls smoothly and handles brilliantly thanks to a one-piece axle that creates an incredibly stiff and stable interface between hub and fork. It is built to last and perform reliably, with very little friction, outlasting your rims to be the heart of your wheels for a great many years to come.
The hub naturally incorporates Chris King's famous in-house bearings. Buy it if you're running a Shimano gear setup and looking for precise handling and long-term value.
The expert craftsmen at Chris King originally designed this R45 front hub as the cornerstone of their hub product line, and the hard work and care they put into creating it has paid off, since it achieves a perfect balance between weight, performance, durability and looks.
With a selection of beautifully finished colours, Chris King products add a finishing touch of understated elegance or pop of head-turning colour to suit your riding style.
They're built to last from raw materials sourced in local mills, using environmentally sound manufacturing processes and vigorous quality control. They are also easily serviceable and fully rebuildable, and chris king's lifetime warranty means that, if any bearings or other part becomes damaged and hinders the function of your headset, the company will repair it free of charge.
