Product Descriptions

LEADER and DOSNOVENTA Compatible with Chris King!

For over 40 years, Chris King has been renowned for producing high-performance headsets, emphasizing proprietary bearing technology and in-house manufacturing. Drawing on this expertise, Chris King introduces the DropSet™ 2, its first-ever integrated headset.

This project began with an analysis of forces experienced during the use of integrated and press-fit headsets, identifying specific issues that needed addressing. Designed from scratch, the DropSet™ 2 tackles these challenges head-on.

One of the key issues to overcome is ensuring that the integrated headset is securely set into the frame. If the bearings are not properly seated, preload is quickly lost as the bearings shift. As preload decreases, the load on the bearings increases, leading to potential damage or failure.

Enter Chris King's proprietary GripLock™ system. Born from years of experimentation and refinement, this system is a patented design that securely fastens the fork steerer using Chris King's unique method.

The GripLock™ system ensures that the DropSet™ 2 maintains significantly superior preload compared to competing products, guaranteeing that it remains unaffected by impacts from any road surface or adverse effects from sudden braking, thus ensuring bearing longevity and performance.
