"Now we offer 6-Bolt compatibility across all of our mountain hubs. It really completes the picture for riders across the spectrum. Having full compatibility options across brake standards makes Chris King hubs viable for a much wider swath of riders, whether you're running a high-end enduro rig or a capable trail bike."
"6-bolt hubs seem to be a standard that will always be in demand, thanks to not needing a proprietary lockring tool to remove the brake rotor if anything goes sideways on the trail. Chris King SuperBoost 6-Bolt hubs feature the patented RingDrive system with 72 or 36 simultaneously interfaced points of contact for unmatched hub engagement."
Chris King, a Portland-based hub manufacturer, has added SuperBoost 6-Bolt rear hubs to its mountain hub lineup, completing full compatibility across both 6-Bolt and Centerlock options. The new hubs start at $590 USD and feature the patented RingDrive system with 72 or 36 points of contact. Available in 28h and 32h configurations with multiple driveshell options, these hubs appeal to riders across the spectrum from enduro to trail bikes. The 6-Bolt standard remains in demand due to its advantage of not requiring proprietary tools for brake rotor removal. Additionally, Chris King introduced a new 36-tooth drive ring developed through collaboration with Santa Cruz Syndicate, demonstrating that maximum engagement isn't always optimal for performance.
