Chris King R45 Rear Hub Campagnolo

Chris King R45 Rear Hub for Campagnolo

Chris King R45 hubs are the ultimate lightweight, high performance hubs. And, at only 226g for the rear and 102g for the front, it's hard to believe that they are also the toughest hubs out there.

Newly designed sleek new hubshell bodies and new 17 mm axles. That's 17 mm from dropout to dropout resisting deflection during cornering or when the power is full on. King designed a driveshell with a twin bearing design that responsibly removed as much weight as they could from the inner components. Even their patented RingDrive engagement system was redeveloped resulting in a quiet, fast-engaging 45-tooth stainless steel system unique to the R45 rear hub. All of this comes with the standard Chris King 5-Year Warranty and is compatible with Campagnolo 9,10 and 11 speed drivetrains.

The R45 for Campagnolo comes standard with an 11-tooth lock ring which is required for use with their driveshell.

King designed and built a bearing specifically for the R45 hubset. As with every King bearing, these stainless steel sealed bearings are made in-house in Portland, Oregon and individually hand-checked for precision and smoothness. Their proprietary bearing design allows them to place more rolling elements per bearing meaning greater durability and precision. R45 bearings also feature lightweight, low-friction seals for fast rolling and can be easily serviced at regular intervals using only a single 2.5 mm hex wrench and penknife.

The R45 Campagnolo rear hub is available in 24, 28 & 32 hole options and a variety of different colours.
