The Chris King R45D Shimano Driveshell Rear Hub offers maximal durability, ultra-smoothness and service life. This model is a 6 Bolt Disc Hub compatible with 135mm QR and has a Shimano Driveshell.
Every single R45D hub is engineered, manufactured and assembled in-house at Chris Kingâs HQ in Portland, Oregon. Fully serviceable and with a five-year warranty, you can be confident that youâre investing in an elite performance product that has been built to last.
Chris King hubs are synonymous with silky-smoothness, unbeatable quality and of course that distinctive angry bee sound that resounds from the hub body. The R45D is a lightweight road hub premised on over 20 years of hub building experience and over 30 years of bearing development â closer to the zenith of performance potential than ever before.
Every R45D hub utilises an innovative 45-tooth RingDrive system for minimal drag and almost instant engagement, translating power from your legs directly into propulsion â ideal if youâre driven by peak performance. As engagement systems go, this really is the best of the best.
The legendary steel bearings and heat-treated, surgical grade steel races employed in the R45 not only form a super-smooth integrated system but actually become faster as they burnish with use â wearing in, rather than wearing out. Because every R45 is fully serviceable, you can enjoy peak performance for years to come.
