Chris King DropSet 2 Ceramic Headset, 42/52mm Info
The Chris King DropSet 2 Ceramic Headset, 42/52mm is built for modern frames with integrated headtubes — the kind where the bearing cups sit directly inside the head tube rather than pressing onto it. Chris King's GripLock bearing cap preloads the headset without clamping the steerer, so hard braking and rough roads don't disturb bearing alignment over time. The result is steering that stays smooth and creak-free across years of riding. Ceramic bearings reduce friction further and are designed to outlast standard steel options by a significant margin. Available in nine anodized finishes — from gloss Black and Silver to Matte Mango and Matte Turquoise — so it fits the aesthetic of the build as well as the spec.
