Developed from the ground up for a wide range of tapered and oversized headtubes, the InSet 2 headset combines maximal durability, silky-smoothness and unrivalled longevity with a phenomenal service life. Handcrafted in the USA, this is the go-to headset if you’re running zero stack, mixed zero stack or an external cup set up.Perfectly primed for peak performance whilst also sturdy enough to outlast the bike you fit it to, this is a truly remarkable feat of engineering, honed over several decades from humble beginnings.The meticulous care and attention invested into the production of each and every InSet reflects Chris King’s lasting commitment to quality and environmentally conscious manufacturing.Every single InSet is engineered, manufactured and assembled in-house at Chris King’s HQ in Portland, Oregon. Fully serviceable and with a 10-year warranty, you can be confident that you’re investing in an elite performance product that has been built to last.Chris King’s legendary bearings and heat-treated, surgical-grade steel races not only form a perfectly integrated system but actually become smoother as they burnish with use – wearing in, rather than wearing out. In contrast to many other manufacturers, Chris King have complete control over every aspect of production, meaning that they can make bearings in-house to a specification that simply wouldn’t be achieved otherwise.An innovative GripLock retention system utilised in the InSet isolates forces normally exerted on your steerer tube, protecting it from fatigue and wear. Because the preload is set independently from the steerer tube it can be matched to precise torque specifications.If you want to care for your frame, particularly carbon and non-standard material constructions, the InSet is a solid choice. The GripLock system also reduces the chance of your headset coming out of adjustment, even after repeated heavy braking and bit hit riding.Key FeaturesEngineered, manufactured and assembled in Portland, Oregon USA,10-year built-to-last warranty,Legendary made-in-house bearings,Patented GripLock® retention design for exclusively dependable headset adjustment,Available in 9 beautifully anodized colors,Responsibly lightweight,Designed specifically for a 44mm/56mm tapered headtube and a 1-1/8” to 1.5” tapered steerer tube,Available in Matte Jet and Matte Slate,SHIS ZS44/ZS56.

New 12x Chorus Ultra-Torque chainset for use with the disc or rim brake groupset.The new Chorus chainset is a true concentrate of technology and versatility. Technically advanced thanks to unidirectional construction technology in carbon fibre, it is directly moulded without any surface coating and has an Ultra-Torque steel axle like the Record chainset. The new 12x cranks are more versatile thanks to the new bolt pcd of 123mm, giving it an extremely solid structure, also ensuring a wider variety of uses. The new smaller bolt circle on the Chorus chainset makes it compatible with 36/52, 34/50 and the brand new 32/48 ratio chainrings.Available in 170mm, 172.5mm and 175mm crank lengths. Technologies: Ultra-Torque axle: In steel,. Key Features: The Q Factor remains the same (145.5): The widths and biodynamics of the stroke are the same., Unidirectional carbon fibre cranks, steel axle and aluminium chainrings: Good stiffness and optimum power transmission., Symmetrical teeth on the internal chainring: Fluid, precise transmission, even with extreme cross-chaining., Optimised design for any chainring combination: Maximum performance, whatever the course style., Double Fixing: Assembly of the large chainring on to the crank is secured by a ring of 123mm bolts, while the inner chainring is attached to the outer by way of 96mm pcd bolts., Surface treatment of the chainrings for longer life, Weight: 718g (172.5 34/50).
Many top features are packed into the Centaur crankset. The four-arm design allows for independent bolt circles, offering greater stiffness and structural integrity, and also provides additional versatility, as a single crankset is compatible with both standard compact and semi-compact chainrings. Add these features to the first aluminium crankset with an ULTRA-TORQUE axle and the result is a component that is very similar to the top-of-the range part.Key Features: Four arm design,Two chainring combinations: 52/36 and 50/34,One single crank for both chainring combinations,Optimized inner surface on both cranks,Ultra-torque™ axle,Chainring inner design optimized per each combination,Three crank lengths available: 170, 172,5 and 175 mm,Campagnolo ultra-torque bb cups required .
