6-Bolt now available in all Chris King MTB hubs

Chris King has officially announced that their entire mountain bike hub range is now available with 6-bolt disc rotor compatibility, expanding beyond their previous Centerlock-only offerings for certain models. This move provides consumers with a choice of disc interface across all their renowned precision-engineered hubs, including their ISO and Boost variants. The change, confirmed by the brand, means riders are no longer restricted to a single rotor standard when opting for Chris King’s premium components.

This development is significant given Chris King’s long-standing reputation for manufacturing high-end, durable, and often aspirational cycling components. While Centerlock has gained considerable traction, particularly in road and gravel, 6-bolt remains a dominant and often preferred standard within mountain biking for its robustness and wider aftermarket rotor availability. For a brand known for its meticulous engineering and commitment to longevity, offering both options addresses a clear market demand and ensures their hubs remain relevant across diverse build preferences.

Ultimately, this is less a revolution and more a sensible market adjustment. Chris King, ever the purveyor of enduring quality, has simply ensured their hubs can now be bolted to a few more bikes, which, for their discerning clientele, is precisely the point.
