To mark its 50th anniversary, Chris King has introduced a new product that promises to make your bike’s components even more efficient. The Gold Grease, designed specifically for Chris King’s hubs and headsets, is a lubricant that reduces bearing drag and extends their lifespan.
Chris King, known for its durable and high-performance components, celebrates its milestone with this significant update. The new grease is designed to offer 25% less drag compared to the company’s now-discontinued Silver Grease. The difference in performance is immediate, with Gold Grease also showing continued improvements over time. After 1,000 miles, the drag reduction is 16%, while it performs 18% better after the initial use.
The Gold Grease’s exceptional performance is the result of extensive testing. Chris King’s president, Kirby Bedsaul, emphasized that while aesthetic appeal is crucial, the focus has always been on creating components that perform exceptionally well, and the Gold Grease fits perfectly into this vision. The grease allows for smoother hub performance, reducing friction and improving the overall speed of the bike.
In terms of pricing, Gold Grease is available in two sizes: a 25g tin for $15 and a 100g tin for $29, making it an affordable investment for those looking to improve their bike’s efficiency.
The launch of Gold Grease represents another step in Chris King’s ongoing mission to innovate within the bike industry. Whether you’re a professional cyclist or a cycling enthusiast, this product could make a notable difference in your bike’s performance, providing better durability and a more enjoyable ride.
