When it comes to top-notch cycling hardware, the Chris King Dropset 1 Integrated Headset is in a league of its own. Assembled with precision and expertise, this exceptional product offers unparalleled performance and durability. Drawing on over four decades of experience in creating unrivalled headsets, Chris King introduces its first-ever integrated headset: The Dropset 1.

Constructed from the ground up, the creation of the Dropset 1 involved thorough stress testing and problem-solving, all aimed at navigating the unique challenges that come with integrated headsets. Unlike pressed-in headset designs, integrated bearings sit loosely within the frame. This feature presents a challenge as the bearings can shift and lose preload, leading to enhanced susceptibility to creaking, damage, and potential failure.
