Chris King Adds 6-Bolt to All MTB Hubs

Chris King Precision Components has officially expanded its mountain bike hub offerings, introducing SuperBoost 6-Bolt hubsets to their product lineup. This strategic addition means their entire MTB hub family now provides both 6-Bolt and Centerlock disc brake interface options. The move ensures compatibility across a broader range of modern mountain bike frames and forks, maintaining Chris King's hallmark promise of superior bearings designed for longevity and reliability.

This development is significant given the increasing fragmentation of mountain bike standards, particularly around axle spacing and disc rotor mounting. Chris King, a brand synonymous with high-end, durable components often carrying a premium price tag, has historically been a benchmark for quality. By fully embracing both 6-Bolt and Centerlock across all their MTB hub configurations, they address a market demand for versatility, ensuring their revered "wear in, not out" philosophy remains accessible regardless of a rider's specific component choices.

While some might see this as merely catching up to industry trends, it’s a pragmatic nod to market realities from a company known for its steadfast engineering. Good to see King ensuring their legendary engagement is available to all, even those with SuperBoost.
