The Chris King Road R45D Rear Hub - 142x12mm - XDR includes a re-design of the King patented RingDrive system, which has 45 teeth for engagement with the hub body, rather than the 75 points of contact that distinguish the original model. This adjustment means there is less drag and the hub's angry bee sound is less noisy that usual. However, the power still reaches the ground wonderfully quickly when you pedal.

It also features an XDR driver body and Chris King's trademark smooth surgical steel bearings, which are heat treated and machined simultaneously for perfect matching, so that they get faster as they burnish. A bit of simple servicing will ensure this hub keeps on going, even with a generous share of heavy use and abuse!

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 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.
