Chris King Precision Components is a bicycle component manufacturer located[1] in Portland, Oregon. Chris King Precision Components is known for its headsets (bicycle part) and hubs.[2][3]
Chris King Precision Components was started by Chris King in Santa Barbara, California. The company was formed in 1976.[4] In 2000 the company moved to Redding, California[5] before finally settling down in Portland.
Chris King Precision Components holds 8 patents.[6][7][8][9] Most recently, Chris King Precision Components was awarded a patent for their internally routed design used in their aero headsets.[10]
On the roads, Chris King components have been used to win Tour de France stages. In 2017 Edvald Boasson Hagen won Stage 19 of the 2017 Tour riding on Chris King Hubs.[11] Also notably from 2003 to 2005 Chris King was the headset supplier of the U.S. Postal Service cycling team[12][13]. Their NoThreadSets headsets were on the bikes of Lance Armstrong and team members while he won the last three of his seven consecutive Tour de Frances. Lance's titles were later stripped as a result of a 2012 UCI investigation uncovering Armstrong's performance enhancing drug use.
In mountain biking, Jackson Goldstone's bike sported Chris King headset and hubs during his historic 2025 UCI Downhill Mountain Bike World Cup winning championship season.[14] Chris King is a current sponsor of the Santa Cruz Syndicate.
