Chris King Precision Components has released a limited quantity of Titanium Dropset Headsets ($300). This is the first time the category-defining headset is available in titanium. Like all King’s headsets, the titanium DropSets™ feature King’s patented GripLock™ bearing cap…

The GripLock™ preloads the headset independently of clamping onto the steerer, so it retains preload far better than the competition and is impervious to the ill effects of load spikes from large hits and heavy braking. This means smoother steering, fewer adjustments, no creaking, and a longer lasting headset. GripLock™ also takes the guesswork out of preloading a headset, because the bearing preload force is independent of the clamping force.

Chris King’s Titanium DropSets™ are available for a limited time via the Chris King website.
