Specifications

Upgrade your bike's handling with the Chris King DropSet 5 Headset - the pinnacle of precision engineering and durability for 1-1/8" steerers. Crafted for avid cyclists and bike enthusiasts, this high-performance integrated headset offers unmatched stability, smooth steering, and long-lasting reliability on every ride.

Materials & Construction:

Made in Portland, Oregon, USA, the Chris King DropSet 5 features LEGENDARY in-house bearings built to withstand the rigors of aggressive riding. The cartridge bearings are assembled with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring consistent performance and durability. The headset's sleek, matte turquoise finish (Color Pop Blue) not only adds a vibrant pop of color but also resists corrosion and wear, maintaining its aesthetic appeal over time.

Performance & Engineering:

The innovative GripLock bearing cap sets the DropSet 5 apart from standard headsets. Its patented design preloads bearings independently of the steerer clamp, providing superior preload retention even after heavy impacts, large hits, or aggressive braking. This results in smoother, more responsive steering with no creaking or loosening-a critical advantage for mountain biking, cyclocross, or touring.

Components & Technology:

- Engineered for excellence: Compatible with included baseplate and 45 integrated crown races, providing a perfect fit for modern carbon and aluminum forks.

- Precision bearings: 42mm upper bearing with 45x45 degree contact angles, suitable for 6.85-7.05mm bearing ream depths. 52mm lower bearing ensures optimal load distribution.

- Universal fit: Designed for 1-1/8" (28.6mm) threadless steerers with standard S.H.I.S. IS42/IS52 specifications, making it compatible with a wide range of bike frames and forks.

Style & Use Case:

Designed for high-performance road, mountain, and trail bike applications, the DropSet 5's sleek and durable design enhances both style and functionality. Its vibrant matte turquoise finish makes it a standout component, perfect for riders seeking a blend of aesthetic appeal and technical superiority. Whether tackling rugged mountain trails or smooth city streets, this headset delivers dependable steering and a confident ride.

Innovative Features:

- Patented GripLock bearing cap for superior preload retention

- Made-in-USA quality with a lifetime warranty from Chris King

- Legendary bearings with excellent load handling and resistance to load spikes
