The Chris King DropSet 5 Integrated Headset is engineered to meet the demands of modern bicycle frames that require headset bearings to sit directly inside the headtube. Unlike traditional press-in headsets, integrated headsets present a challengewithout secure bearing cups, they are prone to shifting, preload loss, and premature wear. Chris King has solved this issue with its patented GripLock design, ensuring superior preload retention and long-term durability.

Built for riders who demand precision and reliability, the DropSet eliminates common headset problems such as creaking and bearing failure. The GripLock system preloads the headset independently from the steerer clamp, preventing load spikes from impacts and braking forces. This results in smoother steering, a longer-lasting headset, and hassle-free adjustments with a precise torque spec. Proudly engineered and manufactured in Portland, Oregon, USA, the DropSet is backed by the King Lifetime Warranty and features legendary in-house bearings for unmatched performance.

Key Features:

• Patented GripLock Design Ensures reliable preload retention and smooth, creak-free steering.

• Precision Engineering Designed and manufactured in the USA with made-in-house bearings.

• Lifetime Durability Backed by the King Lifetime Warranty for lasting performance.
