Fit and forget. Chris King make headsets of unparalleled quality, setting the industry benchmark. Their threadless headset is simple, timeless and beautifully made with a ten year bearing guarantee thanks to surgical grade stainless steel cartridge style bearings, every one of which is made in-house and hand checked. Fully serviceable, Chris King headsets have been ridden to victory in both off-road gravity disciplines and the Tour de France alike, showing their true quality.

Chris King headsets now feature the Sotto Voce branding, meaning literally 'soft voice'. This new understated branding of the headsets will subtly compliment any bike. The traditional stronger graphics are still available - choose the 'Classic Black' sub option.

Don't skimp out on heasets; Chris King is it!

A Chris King headset is the epitome of fit-and-forget products. Always good looking as well, their products make you realize why one must pay up when high quality is a necessity. The sealed bearings and new o-ring design will make it last forever.

perfect well engeneer

Maybe the best, but still expensive ( you get what you pay for) . It fits right and the stainless steel bearings are silky smooth and well-engineered. They will last

Maybe the best, but still very expensive

Chris King's are very smooth and well-engineered. They will last. But still, they are nearly twice as much as Tange headsets which are perhaps not as well made or insured, but still get the job done. I would only splurge if you have the money laying around.

The best steering bearings in the business, but it needs accurate fitting to avoid creaking

Not many ‘ultimate components’ have held their crown as long as Chris King’s headsets, but fit them right and you’ll see why they have their cult following.
Chris King were one of the first threadless headset manufacturers alongside Japanese firm Hatta. Their custom stainless steel bearings have a deservedly legendary reputation for almost perpetual silky smoothness.
Despite no extra sealing besides the mechanical shielding of the overlapping cups, they regularly outlast their 10-year guarantee.
