Designed with road, CX and gravel riders in mind and embracing the dimensions favoured by these groups, the Chris King R45D Front Hub is built to last and perform reliably, with very little friction, for a great many years.

Offering 12mm thru axle compatibility, it attaches firmly to the rotor using a plethora of spines, facilitating lightning-fast breaking, and 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 the 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.
