Chris King Red 157x12mm Thru Axle MTB Rear ISO Disc 32 hole hub

Our ISO 157 Disc rear hub brings the time-tested reliability and performance of Chris King hubs to downhill and heavy-duty freeride bikes featuring 157mm x 12mm thru axle rear dropouts This isn't a "new" hub, it's another great hub from King. Same performance. Same durability. Same expectations.

The responsibly light 344-gram hub spins an aluminum hubshell on our proven 19.5mm one-piece constant diameter axle (through the bearings to the dropouts). Our patented RingDrive engagement mechanism has 72 points of contact ensuring nearly instant power transfer while ratcheting through rock gardens, setting up for a drop-off, or pinning the final run-out towards the line. RingDrive is also responsible for that famous King buzz.

As with all Chris King hubs, the ISO 157 is completely user serviceable. Bearing preload can be adjusted without removing the wheel using a 2.5 hex-head wrench to fine-tune the adjusting clamp on the non-drive side. Thorough service can be performed on the hub bearings using a 2.5 hex-head wrench and penknife while our Hub Service Tool allows for full hub and driveshell disassembly and reassembly

Chris King Black 15mm thru axle MTB Front ISO Disc SD 28 hole Hub

The ISO AB is specifically for “Boost” disc spacing forks with 110x15mm "Boost" or 110x20mm "Boost" axles. Using the larger diameter hubshell bearing the ISO AB is designed to tackle rough terrain and aggressive riding such as downhill and enduro. With the ISO AB hub your wheel will be future proof and ready to convert to the new 110x20mm axle with a simple insert swap, should that spec expand beyond downhill forks in the coming years.

The R45 front hub is built to address our road and cross riders’ demands for Chris King performance in a lighter weight and more aerodynamic package. Defined by a narrow hub body and low flanges the R45 front hub is a sleek base for the fastest wheels.

Light
The R45 hubset is 20% lighter than our Classic hubset. We designed sleek new hubshell bodies and new 17 mm axles. That's 17 mm from dropout to dropout resisting deflection during cornering or when the power is full on. We designed a driveshell with a twin bearing design that responsibly removed as much weight as we could from the inner components. Even our patented RingDrive engagement system was redeveloped resulting in a quiet, fast-engaging 45-tooth stainless steel system unique to the R45 rear hub.

Fast
King designed and built a bearing specifically for the R45 hubset. These stainless steel sealed bearings are made in-house in Portland, Oregon. Our proprietary bearing design allows us to place more rolling elements per bearing meaning greater durability and precision. R45 bearings also feature lightweight, low-friction seals for fast rolling and can be easily serviced at regular intervals using only a single 2.5 mm hex wrench and penknife.
