Specifications

Upgrade your bicycle's steering performance with the Chris King DropSet 3 Headset, a pinnacle of precision engineering and durability for road, mountain, and gravel bikes. Designed for 1-1/8" to 1.5" tapered forks with a 41/52mm crown race, this high-performance headset combines innovative technology with sleek style, ensuring smoother handling and longer lifespan.

Materials & Construction:

Crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum, the Silver Finish DropSet 3 Headset offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. The durable cartridge bearings are engineered for reliable, low-friction performance, even under demanding riding conditions. The precision-machined components ensure a perfect fit and enduring performance.

Performance & Engineering:

Featuring Chris King's renowned GripLock bearing cap, this headset preloads independently of steerer clamping, maintaining optimal preload even during heavy impacts or aggressive riding. Its robust design resists load spikes from large hits and heavy braking, preventing creaks and ensuring consistent, responsive steering. This results in a ride that feels smoother, more predictable, and significantly longer-lasting compared to conventional headsets.

Components & Technology:

- Bearing Type: High-quality cartridge bearings for minimal maintenance and superior durability

- Crown Race: 40mm, compatible with standard tapered fork setups

- S.H.I.S Compatibility: Upper (IS41) and Lower (IS52) for seamless integration with most threaded and threadless stems

- Stem Clamp Diameter: 28.6mm (Threadless), optimized for secure stem fit and rider control

Style & Use Case:

The sleek Silver finish complements any bike aesthetic, from mountain bikes to high-end road rigs. Whether you're tackling challenging trails, long-distance gravel rides, or smooth pavement, the DropSet 3 Headset delivers precise handling, enhanced steering response, and added reliability. Perfect for riders who demand durability, performance, and style in their cycling components.

Innovative Features:

- GripLock bearing cap for superior preload retention

- Load spike resistance for extended headset lifespan

- Compatible with tapered fork designs for versatile application
